“REMEMBER THE LOTUS FLOWER
Great people will always be mocked by those
Who feel smaller than them.
A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song
At the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker.
Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower.
Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud,
It does not allow the dirt that surrounds it
To affect its growth or beauty.
Be that lotus flower always.
Do not allow any negativity or ugliness
In your surroundings,
Destroy your confidence,
Affect your growth,
Or make you question your self-worth.
It is very normal for one ugly weed
To not want to stand alone.
Remember this always.
If you were ugly,
Or just as small as they feel they are,
Then they would not feel so bitter and envious
Each and every time they are forced
To glance up at magnificently
Divine YOU.

“One day, the lotus spoke again. "You remember me? The flower that grows through the mud?" I did. I said as much. "Have you ever considered my significance? I'm everywhere - art, religion, nature.... Have you ever wondered why?"
... It spoke, "Nothing touches me. I radiate beauty. You can do the same."
"How?" I asked.
"Easy," it said. "I grow in a pond. I take the water and nutrients I need to grow, and let the rest sink to the bottom. What's in mud, anyway? Water, nutrients, life and a little bit of sludge. Let the sludge go like I do. Then stand tall above the leaves.”

“Anyway, being afraid of a human being is nothing. We're here for such a short period of time, so what does it matter, scared, not scared; what matters is that we last. That's why the blue lotus is so important."
"Why?"
"In legends, immortals are attracted to its scent. Vampires, werewolves, that sort of thing. That's why the ancient Egyptians called it the scent of immortality."
I took Levon's card out of my pocket and rotated the Magician between my fingers. Magical words for good or bad.
"Gabriel told me that you painted werewolves."
"I have painted the odd rougarou from time to time."
"But you don't believe in them?"
"I believe in immortality in whatever form it takes. Paintings, books, music, werewolves. They're all the same- the desire to last forever. In my opinion, every artist is a vampire or a werewolf, or a thief. All we want is to live on and on through the work we do and we'll take whatever we can from the people unlucky enough to be around us- their stories, pieces of their selves, their very souls if they'll let us, which they so often do with surprising ease- in order to reach our creative goals. How is that different from a vampire?”

“The lotus flower is born in a swamp. It grows up surrounded by filthy slough and yet manages to bloom into magnificence. But it does not fall prey to pride. Nor is it ashamed of the swamp. It lives out its life in its humble home while radiating beauty and being grateful.”

“I am a lotus. It takes a century for my toes to reach for the ground beneath me, a century for my hands to reach for the sun. A dragonfly visits me one summer. We spend the long hours of the days together, locked in a quiet caress. They are the happiest months of my life. Through him I, anchored so tightly to the mud, come to know flight. I am his hammock and his refuge; his stained-glass wings are my church. He dies in my arms. I hold him for a thousand years.”

“Yesterday it was relaxation day. So I seated in a lotus position and closed my eyes to meditate. "Are you relaxing? I wish I had your peace of mind," someone said. "No, I'm working." I answered. Then I got up and started to paint. "Are you working now?" "Nope," I said, "I'm just relaxing... " When I finished painting, I showed it up saying, "Here's my piece of mind!”

“Don't let the mediocrity that surrounds you affect the creative machinery of your rich mind. Like how the incandescent beauty of the magnificent lotus is unaffected by the swampy mud that surrounds it.”

“Lady Devanagari, with your beauty nothing can compare—not even the lotus bloom found in the outer clusters.â€� From behind his back, he presents one such flower to the giant automaton. With coy playfulness she waves her hand as if cooling her blushing face, having turned a Jovian red. Then, always in change, her exquisite complexion reverts to its natural sky blue...”

“I'm surprised there aren't any lotus flowers in the gazing pool, seeing that they mean rebirth. After all, this is essentially where Bee Gipson died and Glory Wynn was born, isn't it?”

“You ask me â€� hey traveller, where is your home?
Do you ask a lotus where it comes from?
Deep waters and mire matter no more
It rises to skies untouched and sole.
You ask me � hey traveller, where will you go?
Do you ask a wild seed where it will fall?
Roots and stems matter no more
It rises to skies detached and sole.
You ask me � hey traveller, can I come along?
For few moonlit nights, we’ll share this road
Loss and gain will matter no more
Once each departs on a path of his own.”

“The light is meant to stay for the lotus lives encircled by murky waters as the essence penetrates the thick obscurity to fill the world. Despite the days it dwelled in the dark, it remained untouched by the murky bottom of the stream. Neither thickness nor heaviness of the murk could dim the bloom's scent and there streams the tender lotus light.....”

“An assortment of tea and sweets is laid out. Only the owner of Petals Tea Shop could arrange such a charming display. A smattering of preserves and jams in heart-shaped dishes are nestled between the crooks of crumpets, scones, and other pastries garnished with lavender. Laina grabs a Danish with buttercream frosting dripping from a flaky crescent roll. Crumbles of brown sugar tumble off as she takes a bite.
I pour a dash of cream into a teacup. The milk feathers out like a lotus blossom. In China, where my father is from, the lotus symbolizes honesty, goodness, and beauty.”
