Description

The Pomegranate by Maggie Terlecki

The title of this image comes from the first stanza of a poem by the same name by Khalil Gibran. It goes like this:

The Pomegranate

By Kahlil Gibran

Once when I was living in the heart of a pomegranate, I heard a seed
saying, �Someday I shall become a tree, and the wind will sing in
my branches, and the sun will dance on my leaves, and I shall be
strong and beautiful through all the seasons.�

I was so pulled by the thought of the leaves here that appear to be dancing in the wind.

As a side note, pomegranates bring a bit of nostalgia to me as I first had one as a child, perhaps I was 9 or 10. It was not something usual and truly a treasure to receive. I would eat one small sparkling red seed at a time, each a beautiful jewel. Today, people throw handfuls in a salad or on their meal but back then, it was to be eaten slowly for several days and a true treat. I still like to eat them that way, picking one seed at a time... old habits die hard!

This is a limited edition print. Once 10 prints have been sold, I will pull it. Next print to be sold will be 1/10.
