Something Borrowed. Happy Chinese New Year (and Valentines Day)! I present you Lotuses, as a bridge of the two. Their significance in Chinese cultural stems to Buddhism. No matter your beliefs, we can all learn something from the Lotus philosophy: the lotus stays afloat above surface in beauty even with its roots in the dirtiest waters.P.S. Lotuses is not my work as indicated by the theme’s title. It is one my Mom’s pieces. Found this also appropriate for the post since Eastern culture holds family heavily significant.
