"Lotus in the Mud" - in progress |
The lotus is the "flower of open-heartedness", an emblem of purity, fruitfulness (because of its many seeds), and creative power. A lotus flower grows out of the mud, and blossoms above the muddy water surface; Buddhists teach that, like a lotus, we can rise above the suffering and conflicts of life.
This second chance at the Lotus Moon is the natural time to sink into the mud of my life, and seek out the best ways to grow above the fray.
Agenda for today:
1. Play in the Mud
2. Journal Queries
3. New Moon Meditation
4. Make a shiny mud ball
5. Plan small steps
