Lotus Flower

Lotus FlowerThe lotus flower is important in Chinese mythology as the symbol of something pure and beautiful that grows up from the muck. It is a reminder that each of us can transcend our circumstances. But remember, the lotus never leaves the muck behind – the unattractive mess at the bottom of the pond is what nourishes the plant throughout its life.

What messy parts of your life continue to nourish you?

One thought on “Lotus Flower”

  1. My kitchen, literally. For various reasons, none of them any fault of others, the kitchen where I live is in total chaos but somehow I seem to be able to pull a meal off of the shelf or out of the refrigerator or freezer every time that it is necessary. I “know” that I have a certain ingredient but searching for it is a different matter. Some of my guests seem very concerned about this chaotic method of getting food together; others are just waiting for good food, interesting conversation and a “good dessert!” I’m sure that others have the same messy situation and can produce A-1 dinners. I say don’t wait until everything is in its place before you invite friends over for a good time together.
