Tricias tattoo story: Besides being a beautiful flower, the lotus has been used throughout history, among several cultures, as a symbolic metaphor for our life and spiritual journey. We all have tests and rough times that we must get through, and rather than shrink away from life, hopefully we find the spiritual lesson we were meant to learn and continue to rise and grow. The Buddhist monk and spiritual teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, has created a piece of calligraphy art that puts this very simply: No mud, no lotus. We must rise through the mud and the muck of life in order to bloom on the surface. This metaphor was the inspiration for Tricias tattoo.
