Some of you know I am having my right arm sleeved and here is the latest part I just had done....
The lotus flower or 'Lien Hua' in Chinese, is regarded as a spiritual flower, with elegant beauty, a mystery that inspires a person taking root in muddy, murky water, the darkest of places, where he or she rises above to bloom beautiful, powerful on the surface.
The lotus inspires the person, that whenever faced with trouble, no matter how dark the waters may get, he or she will rise above and let the beautiful flower in them bloom as long as they have a pure and sincere heart.
A lotus flower remains closed in the murky waters and opens only at the top. This is the symbolic level of the Higher Spirit. Think of it as if like a gentleperson, who keeps themselves clean in a dirty environment. The symbology of the lotus has meaning exists beyond what can be described in words. The lotus flower stands for beauty and perfection in this transient ephemeral existence.
Can't wait for it to be done so i can get my next peice!!!
