The Aquatic Perennial

The Sacred Lotus
Beautiful in its White and Hot pink hues...its seed can survive a millennium
This plant also has the rare ability to control its body temperature
in any climatic condition
A very intriguing plant, I know!
In Ancient Asia, it was the Divine symbol for
Virtues for Sexual Purity
and
Non-attachment
with unfolding pedals, illustrating the expansion of the soul
Beauty sprouting from mud...with much spiritual promise

Pure
from
Body
Speech
and
Mind

floating above attachment and desire

elegant, beautiful, perfection, purity, grace
...ideal
enlightenment, self-regeneration
rebirth

A Journey of Consciousness
from spiritual ignorance
to
perfection
through many rebirths
enduring many difficult and painful lessons
repairing past mistakes at every new life
facing consequences from every
Word, Thought or Action

with each new life
Given the opportunity to remove some of the past darkness
...stepping one life closer
to the highest of consciousness

becoming the most beautiful flower ever
