The Lotus Butterfly

<p>One cannot fail to see this exquisite flower and its inspired wisdom and beauty. She blooms into self-reverence and victory of the spirit embodying strength from the earth’s sun-kissed sky while emerging from a dirty pond of muddy waters full of life’s painful lessons and persecution. She is the womb of the world a symbol of love hope peace and purity. Never fully sprouting her petals her center is protected by her half-opened wings not exposing her to vulnerability for observation—until the day the enchanting bodacious butterfly interrupts her blossom and eloquently flutters his way into her core settling comfortably on her petals for a while. Her delicacy is exposed as he tastes her fragile innocence and she begins to learn the lessons behind the beauty charm and deception of the butterfly. She becomes infused in a spiritual awakening—the enlightening the rebirth and the resurrection—discovering for herself her succulent core.</p>
