A lotus flower, finds sanctuary in the muck below the waters. When the lotus flower blooms, the petals have a wax coating to prevent the dirt from weighing down its petals, revealing how much stronger the flower truly is despite the obstacles. Comparing to being in a dark place for some time, dirt becomes familiar and reaching towards the light can be intimidating. But the feeling of coming out of a dark place to better days of healing is a feeling like no other.
