Just A Thought ~ NO MUD, NO LOTUS
"As seedlings buried in dirt, we can't
actually see the dirt we're in. When
we poke through the surface and
start reaching for the sun, we get to
clearly see the dirt we've sprung from
for the first time. At first glance, in
contrast with the clean fresh air and
sunlight, it might appear disgusting
and gross and something to get out
of. The fact is that struggling through
it gave us new life, and it will always
feed us part of what we need to
thrive ~ a reminder of where we
came from, in which we remain
fundamentally rooted. Rather than
curse the dirt, why not reach back
into it and offer our support to others
as they find their way through their
life's dirt and into their own sunlight."
