There are stars
and there are orchids 
but nothing so rich 
and rare as love.
For love is everlasting,
and this is my finding.

Desire For Peace

The versatility of nature to thrive, even in the 
most harshest of conditions. The Lotus flower will
regenerate many times over, is as pure as they come:
Born in mud and returned to it at night, it will emerge
clean in the light hours from the murky water to 
produce beautiful, prominent blossoms, opening
like the womb of the world: A break in the water's 
surface heralds it's arrival, victory of spirit, a 
beginning. Pacification, an end to war, desire for 
peace.
