♥ Enlightenment ♥ New Beginnings ♥ About the Lotus The lotus, with its delicate and charming appearance, symbolizes purity, rebirth and overcoming difficulties. The flower grows from the mud and gracefully displays its beauty through the water, representing the ability to bounce back from difficult circumstances. Like the dark moments in life, the lotus reminds us that no matter what challenges we face, relief will eventually come. Not only is the lotus a symbol of patience and resilience, it also reminds us to keep faith because difficulties are not permanent. It calls us to persevere and be patient as we wait for that moment of enlightenment. A symbol of both subtlety and intensity, the lotus demonstrates that passion and compassion are not a sign of vulnerability, but a display of strength.
