Frequently, the symbol of the water lily has been commented upon because these flowers come up clean and beautiful from the green-black slime underneath. The metaphor could be that all the unpleasantness of life is destined to be the source for our most beautiful creations; our lives, ourselves, our expressions of love. Perhaps our goal in life could be to lift ourselves up from the depression,anger and trouble so that we too may create beauty with our lives. In every contact, may I honor the beauty in you. Namaste
