The peel provides a barrier against the outside; the flesh protects the seed, which, in turn, waits to play its part when its time comes. The parts may be separate, but they are not independent. Each depends on the others, each develops from the same seed. There is an order in space, and an order in the sequence of time. This is what gives order and sequence to our perception and our understanding. We first see
