A Newer Vision Unfolding: An Angel Message

On my birthday, Elliot and I took a ride to the orchid farm to try out my new camera.  The coi fish pond was brimming with delicate purple lotus flowers.  

Beyond the soulfulness of pure saturated light and color,

as best seen in the myriad flowered faces of Nature,

is the beautiful face of God

smiling down in blessing upon us.

--Narana

I had forgotten that another name for a lotus is a sea rose.  A lotus symbolizes divine birth, purity, an opening to greater spiritual awareness.  The unfolding petals suggest an expansion of the soul.  Lotus bring the message that higher knowledge is available if we choose to open up to it.  This flower alerts us to a newer vision that will be unfolding soon.

While rooted in the mud, its 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 beautiful petals, also symbolizing detachment.  

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and peace,

The Lesson of the Lotus

On the way to the beach in Sandbridge, one catches a bit of Monet's paintings in nature this time of year. The inlet is abundant with beautiful yellow lotus pads. The lotus is the official flower of Virginia Beach. It is also known as the sea rose. In his book, Nature-Speak, Ted Andrews tells us that the lotus encourages greater spiritual openness. Higher knowledge is coming, and we should be open to it. It activates a higher sense of grace, harmony and synthesis in all areas of life. The lotus alerts us to a newer vision unfolding for us soon.

After a severe thunderstorm the other day, the skies cleared and I was ready to take a photo, but the blossoms were closed from the storm. Yesterday, the sun was out and once again these beautiful flowers were opening up to receive the blessings of a bright new vision.

Enjoy your day with the Angels,

Karen
