a beautiful flower becomes the fulfilling of the plant. once the flower blossoms, the attention is no longer on the plant but the flower. and definitely marks milestones and death in some.
this beautiful lotus grows in the mud that is in the pond it grows in.

the surroundings are not beautiful at all. yet the lotus doesn't run away. once it blossoms, the attention is totally taken away from the rest. can i be one like that. well i guess it needs lots more work to be done. to be as beautiful in spirit so that i can cover any filth that is around me.
