Lotus…Quote:

I do not own any copyrights to this image.

“The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud — the obstacles of life and its suffering. … The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. … Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. ”

Some of the many quotes I like:

* “I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing.”

* “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”

~Anais Nin

* “When I miss you, I don’t have to go far … I just have to look inside my heart because that’s where I’ll find you.”

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

~Oscar Wilde~
