The Lotus - A Story of Rising Above

Scared,
cold, and miserable, the Seed huddled in
its husk. Where were its bright dreams now? Where was
light and air? It yearned for them. Then one day the
Seed heard a strange sound. Something was plop-plop-plopping way

wet seeped into the dirt around the Seed. It didn. t
feel pleasant. It was too new and different. The Seed
was not happy. The Seed tried to escape the creeping
damp but the soil around the Seed was too heavy. Then
an odd thing happened. The Seed started to feel...

was no longer content to hide in the soil and be miserable.
Suddenly the Seed needed and wanted to change.
