I received this beautiful gift today from someone who read my book and was inspired by my reference to the lotus flower:) .
“The Lotus flower is revered in many religions and belief systems as revealing the path of life, from birth through transformation and finally enlightenment. It is the symbol of health, purity, peace, beauty, and enlightenment. It is not just a glorious flower with an intoxicating fragrance, but also a reminder that beauty can sprout from the most unexpected places. .
The Lotus flower is born in the mud beneath a body of water. .
Although it can’t see the light, it manages to intrinsically find its way through the murky waters. Moving blindly through the darkness, strictly on faith, the weights begin to lift and its path becomes clear as it approaches the light. .
Does the lotus know that it is destined to blossom into a symbol of perfection, or is it driven by hope and faith? When the lotus finally makes its way through the waters and is bathed in the light of the sun, it blossoms into something of indescribable beauty, seemingly unscathed by the murky depths.
Our journey as a human being is similar to that of the lotus. We move through attachments and, before we experience freedom, we feel heavy and weighted down at the bottom of the water. As we start to ascend, we release these attachments, becoming more connected to our source. Unloading our accumulated baggage and becoming lighter, we eventually reach the surface and experience the warmth and glistening, radiant light of the sun. You are well on your way. You have moved through all darkness, ready to now bathe in the light of pure happiness and joy. As you emerge into your highest self, the light illuminates you and you will blossom into a beautiful lotus flower for all of the world to see and experience. It is your time to shine!
