The mud and the lotus:

Lotus flowers are found on the surface of bodies of fresh water. But their journey starts in the muck, way below the sunlight in the depths of darkness. They push through this muck, going up…up…up…finally emerging a pristine flower.

Do you ever feel like you are pushing through muck with no sunlight in sight?

Do you remember a time a time when you emerged with a renewed purpose or gift?
