Growing from the mud at the bottom of ponds and streams, the exquisite Lotus flower rises above the water and is usually white or pink with many oval, spreading petals, and an odd, flat seedcase at its center. A symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again.
Shittake, as with all other mushrooms, grow best in fertilizer - that's mostly poop and some rotting plants - and yet they are highly sought after. But take either of these things and put too much fertilizer or the wrong kind of muck and it withers and dies.
Sometimes I wonder if people have similarities to these plants and fungi... People get a lot of fertilizer dropped on them, most of them seem to grow from it and become better people while some get overwhelmed and burn out.
I wonder if I am strong enough to withstand the amount of fertilizer I get in life or will I wither?

You will NEVER be given more 'fertilizer' than you can handle without also recieving the help you need to handle it. Remember, you are here to succeed -failure is not an option.
I love the symbolism!You are soooo smart.
