The Blue Lotus of Egypt (Nymphaea caerulea, technically in the Water Lily family) and the Nelumbo lotus of south Asia show up in ancient art representing the creative moment of life emerging from the depths of infinite timespace. They are wondrous plants expressing the ever-flowering emergence of a refreshed Self through life’s cycles. Ancient experiences clarified by emerging science show how our chemistry and activity influence our brain and mind, memory and perception. Sip on blue lily or a lotus potion as you contemplate the joy of embodiment.
