Life or Minestrone: diverse mix of ingredients that contribute unique flavor and characteristics.
Just as minestrone contains a variety of vegetables, beans, pasta.. life is a range of experiences, people, circumstances, coming together to create a unique, ever-changing mixture.
Soup ingredients may be sweet and comforting, others sour or spicy.
Life experiences may be joyful and fulfilling, others difficult or painful.
Both enjoyed and appreciated for their complexity, richness and diversity.
