I wish to share the following insightful writing about Lotus

that I learnt lately:

The Lotus Blossom symbolizes enlightenment. In the early morning

before the dawn rays cause its petal to unfold, it stands erect and

serene in the pose of the folded hands as when people greet each other

in India and other Eastern countries. The graceful enfolding of the

radiant inner core of the flower by the outer petals in the cool

pre-dawn hours reminds one of the patience and calmness one must have

while dealing with the many vicissitudes of life. Namaste.
