The characteristics of the lotus flower offer a wonderful analogy for the ability of the human spirit to adapt, survive and even transform the harshest of environments.
Consider that: A lotus flower can survive under ice as long as its roots remain in water or mud; Its seeds can survive for thousands of years without water; And while lotus flowers are resistant to pollution, they simultaneously purify the water they grow in.
No wonder the lotus flower is regarded in so many cultures and eastern religions as a symbol of self-regeneration and rebirth.
