The Lotus
Out of the primordial mud sprung the likes the sad blue Lotus. Despite the beautiful form in the sludge nobody seemed to notice this forlorn lotus. One day the stars twinkled, and asked, “Dear beautiful thing, why are you so sad?” The Lotus responded “At last! A break from this exile. My situation is bad, for I am surrounded by nothing! A poor excuse for a wasteland for around me here there is just mud”. Twinkling a response the stars replied “Why, there could not be more around you! Surrounding you is everything the world could imagine, it just isn’t there yet.” (This lotus Believes really deep down that the mud is too brilliant to produce it’s humble self.)
