There is a Zen saying: “Only out of the mud can the Lotus grow.” All of the things you consider messed up in the world are the mud from which you, the most beautiful of all flowers, emerge, and the “mud” is never, not there, just as YOU have never not been! The world is perfect, as are YOU. Worry not and judge not the mud from which all life takes form. Sow seeds of goodness, gratitude, and kindness so that your life, regardless of its murkiness and mystery, flowers with beauty.
