The Lotus in Blossom
Still inspired by the last Lotus meditation window with I did for my partner, Chuck, I began this smaller variation, of the beloved water lily. Red signifies the heart, open, filled with love and compassion in the Buddhist tradition. The white rays emanating from the flower represent the soul seeking enlightenment. It is often associated with the goddess of compassion, Kuan Yin. Here it is, in the glow of the Southeastern sunlight, foiled and ready for solder, then cleaned after which a patina will be applied to approximate the lead that is the base metal enfolding the glass.
