Reading this alongside No Mud, No Lotus, just when I needed them most, was such a gift. I’m lucky to have known his work, & to teach some of his writings in my classes.

Last Sunday me and my friend of 36 years got matching tattoos (slightly different) for our 41st birthdays. (Hers in April, mine in March) We both wanted to get some variation of a lotus and a moon and went to an all female tattoo shop. #inked #nomudnolotus

and used the pain to strengthen
my core
now I show how beautiful

#NoMudNoLotus is also a good metaphor for the current resistance urgently needed.
Read, write, discuss.

“No Mud, No Lotus”
#nomudnolotus
a purple lotus opening its blossom - with orange in the center and some lily pads off to either side.
Thich Nhat Hanh said "No mud, no lotus."
There's a lot of mud around, so here's a lotus to keep you (and me) inspired.
