The lotus is a reminder that rebirth is not about where you start, but what you rise toward. Rooted in mud, it pushes through darkness, cold water, and unseen depth; yet when it reaches the light, it opens flawlessly, untouched by the struggle that formed it. The lotus teaches that renewal isn’t sudden or dramatic; it’s a quiet, persistent ascent. Every day it closes, sinks, and returns again; proving that rebirth is a cycle, a practice, and a choice you make each time you rise.
