The first two letters of the Hebrew word for pomegranate (רמון) – which is known for its crown – mean “sublime.” The pomegranate (skin and seeds) is one of the healthiest fruits: top heavy with iron and anti-oxidants, anti-cancer. It lowers blood pressure, enhances the quality of blood, the cardiac and the digestion systems. The pomegranate is used as a metaphor for a wise person: “wholesome like a pomegranate.”
May the coming year be top heavy on realism and low on wishful-thinking.
