You, whoever you are, are like a peach tree. Right now we are in pruning season. This is when the fruit that has been growing on our branches is pruning, ripening, and preparing to fall off of our branches. We must let these pruned fruits fall in order for us to begin growing new fruit. A new fruit that will not weigh us down or make our tree ugly. So let the pruned fruits fall and let new fruits grow as this is the act of re-blossoming. It is a sign of a new beginning. A fresh start.
