The Lotus painting has a quote used each session by my yoga teacher, Julie Jackson.

“A lotus sinks in to the mud each night yet comes up with the sun pristine and beautiful each sunrise. We must live like the lotus, though the world is muddy and challenging we must rise each day with a pure heart like a lotus."
