A torrential storm last evening gave way to a beautiful bright sunny morning at the lake. The ducks were absent, but a single white blossom floating among the lily pads delivered an angel message to greet the new day.
Lotus is a member of the lily family,
and symbolizes divine birth, purity. An opening up to greater spiritual
awareness.
While rooted in the mud, the lotus flowers bloom on tall stems that make it
appear as though the lotus is floating above the dirty waters of
attachment and desires. Drops of water easily slide off its luxuriant
petals, also symbolizing detachment. The unfolding petals represent an expansion of the soul.
Lotus bring the message that higher knowledge is available if we choose
to open up and receive. This flower alerts us to a newer vision that will be
unfolding soon. Another name for a lotus is a sea rose.
Symbols are helpful to convey spiritual messages from on-high. The lotus is a picture of great beauty and victory over the trials and seeming hopeless situations we need to rise above and blossom in our soul. I'm so grateful for these uplifting messages that offer hope and faith to keep on doing our best. The storms in life pass, and we are given a new vision, a higher perspective as to why things are the way they are. In the end, it was all for good spiritual growth.
Love, peace, and joy,
Rae Karen
