The Lotus flower blooms in the most unlikely of places, such as muddy, murky river water where it finds sanctuary in the muck. Protected by the waxy layer on its petals, its beauty is blithely unblemished when it re-blooms, as it continues to resurrect itself, coming back just as beautiful as it was in its previous guise. With such refusal to acceptance in defeat, this flower signifies unwavering faith, emblematic of the faith within ourselves to overcome adversity. // 7016x9921px
