Th Lotus represents the world, sun & moon. It reflects beauty, silence & beginnings, mystery & truth, creation & resurrection, perfection & purity.
Things I can never add up to...but things that I can strive for.
It is historically sentiment to Egyptians & Indians...from the far East to the West, it is recognized for it's simple beauty & tenderly strong petals.
Happy Friday & here's to the Lotus Blossom!

Just found it's FRIDAY!
25 minutes and my weekend begins! Thanks for the flower info. I love learning new things like this. Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!
...and grows in muddy waters~
I think Lotusblossoms are awesome! My favorite flower! Out of the muddy murky water comes this beautiful flower~
Kinda like people, where we come from...who we were~ who we are now~ who/what we strive to be...
When we are young dumb and full of fun... to older and wiser and full of fun... hopefully:)
...the saying is really: young dumb and full of cum...8)
Lotus blossoms are beautiful and meaningful... like you, sweet Skinny. :)
Simply beautiful!
sigh. nice way to start the weekend. thanks.
sigh....
:)
Matt~ and all day it felt like Thursday, but busier!
Wreckless~ Happy Weekend to you!
Lotusblossom~ 'and grows in muddy words' is truly like you say, like us. LoL, I remember that statement, btw...the one about being young & dumb. It's funny because although I know I am getting older, I essentially feel the same.
Aw, Queen Anne, you flatter me so! But you're right about the Lotusblossoms!
BarDouble~ Evidence of Mother Nature at work :)
KJ TY for stopping by...hope the week-ends good to you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOTUS! You sweet, wreckless, wild, soulful, silly, flower child friend of mine! May your world be blessed and peace rain on you like magic confetti! Love you girlfriend!
Happy day to you, SLB--no matter which day.
*sending peacefilled, happy wishes*

:)Post was done in appreciation of Lotus, but to clarify, not specifically for her bday, not yet...but, I have already sent a card out & her day is the same as Dad's at the end of next month.
Aw....Mel...TY & back at ya' tenfold!
wonderful
*sigh*
what a gorgeous post! thanks
(I ate lotus roots in an "asian fusion" restaurant once - they were really yummy!!)(don't ask me what "asian fusion" is, I dunno - but the food was good)
Seeing a lotus blossom on a serene lake is a sight to behold. I remember we used to have a lake near home where at one season of the year the whole lake would be filled with beautiful lovely blooming lotus flowers. You are right,this flower is held at a high esteem in India and infact considered sacred.Infact a lot of life philosophy is based on the life of lotus. Hope you are enjoying a great weekend Skinny!
tai~ Your comment prompted me to do a pictorial search of that lake (I have never been to CA) & WOW! What beauty!
ILTV~ I learn something new everyday on this blogger-world. I had no idea that you could eat their roots, but find it completely beleivable that they were yummy...I bet they are healthy too! Asian fusion might be like Tex-mex...Americanized versions of traditional foods from other parts.
Fuzzy~ I bet that was a beautiful sight...since I killed (accidently,sigh) all of our fish in the fish pond...we really need some more life there & maybe I can get some Lotus to grow there!
What did you mean when you say you still feel young and dumb? Did you mean young, or dumb or both? Because I don't feel any different than I felt when I was younger either, though I feel somewhat smarter. I don't understand peoply my age who talk about themselves like they are old. It especially gets on my nerves when someone says we are getting old. I started a new blog. I was blogging at work and decided I don't want to take the chance anymore, so I closed off my old one and started a new one. You should be able to click on me now to get there. Beautiful picture. They are hard to grow aren't they?
BBE~ Lol, I did not say that. I beleive it was a comment & my interpretation of what they meant was that even out of the mud a beautiful flower can emerge...much like how someone young & dumb can grow to be someone mature & wise, and still ever so beautiful.
Personally, I embrace aging. It's inevitable if all goes well ;)
Well I am a little late, so I will wish you a happy Monday ;)
Aw...never too late Pixie! Thanks for bopping in! And Happy EveryDay to You!
