The pomegranate is a fruit of much depth, both physically and metaphorically. Its skin is tough, its organs tender and sweet, and it is fragile inside – perhaps why the outside is so difficult to break through.
The fruit itself has many symbolisms. The cycle of life: fertility, death, the afterlife, resurrection and renewal. Some may know it for its giving nature, the abundance of seeds it produces and how it's always so copiously generous. Others may know it for its devotion, undying love, representation of the human bond and our relationships. It’s even connected to the root chakra, otherwise known as the Muladhara, which is your stability and offers security and guides your survival.
The pomegranate is what you make of it.

The cherry is a sweet, simple, and pleasant-on-the eyes fruit. Its round shape,nectar-like scent of its juices, tender flesh, and honeyed flavoring is desirable and addictive.
The fruit represents pleasure, passion, sensuality, and beauty, which makes sense considering its idealized shape and vibrant flavoring, doesn’t it?
The truth about the cherry is that there is something different in it all together. Sure it is beautiful, sure its softness and juices are heaven to your taste buds, but what of the pit?
The strawberry, while remaining a symbol of love and or passion since Ancient Rome, is also a symbol of prevalence and determination.
Shaped like a heart and red as a flustered blush, the fruit became associated with Venus in the early days of its discovery. In many European myths, the Strawberry is regarded as a fruit that produces love and fertility.
Though some associate its plentiful seeds with fertility, I'd like to say it is a symbol of its ability to thrive and grow. Strawberries are a plant capable of germinating even when there isn't any soil, and with so many seeds, the fruit is capable of much success.
It is passionate, not only in love, but in life.
Red wine may be a blend of many berries, from pomegranate to cherries to strawberries. Wine is a drink of variation and of great diversity. some may be bitter-sweet, dry, full-bodied, or sugary enough to make you feel as though you’ve drunk honey.
It takes time to perfect such a craft – to yield the fruit and harvest the berries – to grind out the juices and age it – to finally be able to get a taste of what you’ve worked for.
It is rich, full of depth, having a balance that evokes the mind. It arouses all your senses, teasing your nostrils with a fruity aroma and it caresses your tongue with a complex mix of tart and lush berry flavors carried on a smooth crimson wave.
This is what makes it beautiful. It is not the bottle that it is presented in, not the glass it may be poured into, it is the spirit and the story.
