She blossoms from the underground, her roots deeply connected with the mud beneath. Her floridity sparkles and ripples like the water surrounding her. The lotus beautifully opens her petals as you watch her drift with the tide – she resembles rebirth with each petal she sprouts. She fears none as she is consciousness itself. An alchemist, born out of mud yet has transformed into divine beauty. She reminds us to honor the darkest parts within because we too can blossom from the muddiest of wetlands. She sees her conflict as opportunity to emerge from the depths with gleaming luminescence. Her petals open one by one she takes her time as there is no rush to grow inner wisdom. Her flower is a symbolic message of truth – she is eternal life. Her pain is transformed into love and when she is fully blossomed she is just that; the lotus flower. 

“She is a flower but also the sun that lets her bloom” – Christiane Stark
