This is beautiful, Jena. Thank you for writing this story. David Wilcox's song goes so well. I have had a quote on my computer for many years from TNH's book, "No mud, no lotus." ♥
(Apropos of nothing, really..) recently, it was, my cousin's - Kamala's 😁 - umpteenth birthday, and in a belated, honour celebration, I've been aching for *lotus roots* to cook - and lo & behold, Harris's spotlight, bless her, makes it even more, happily imperative, serendipitously doubly celebratory an occasion...so, me, onwards, chop chop ~
Lotus Root Stir-fry: A Quick & Easy Recipe - The Woks of Life
This is magical! The lotus flower is a recurring theme in my novels for that reason, it's magical.
"Today I learned that the first name of the first woman to serve as Vice President of the United States means Lotus flower. Lotus is a Sanskrit word that symbolizes purity, rebirth, and strength in Indian culture."
Oh yes, agree! And now I know more about her mother I believe she must have known she had birthed a child who would help change the world for the better. Lotus flowers intrigue and inspire me.
Very nice!
Beautiful!
Thank you!

Thank you Tizz. Of course you have that quote over your computer :-) How I love TNH.
Me too. ♥
A wonderful story, Jena💕
Thank you, Diane. Now that I know more about her family I really wish I’d met Kamala’s mom. What an amazing soul.
From the mud
The lotus arises.
Brought to mind the second verse of:
Round the Clock Love
Ten o'clock at the office
I heed the telephone's ring
She talks to me so sweetly
Just like the blue birds sing
And I can't wait for dinner
Cause I know what's for dessert
And I know my darling loves me
Like a flower loves the dirt.

Another beautifully crafted piece.
Thank you. Trying to share as I learn more.

Thanks for David Wilcox. Great song. I also listened to six more of his.
You have a taste in music similar to mine.
So glad you enjoyed his music too.

Her smile alone is magical.
And the sound of her oozing laughter is melodious, to my ears anyway...joyous, I don't know...fills me happiness, it's enamouring 💙🙏🏻🧘🏻♀️🌌
Nothing beats a good belly laugh, Mahesh😁
Agree and so wonderful to see after all the sneering, leering, and angry scowls from the GOP.
A winning smile!
