roots in mud, Lotus

not calling myself a buddhist, but rooted in mud and opening to the light,
this will do. or could the lotus do anything better? the lotus is not living in its head. how much grace...in not seeking enlightenment, 'just ' simply opening.
i pray for this to be my way.
is there any person without roots, mud, darkness? no.
it is not making any sense to negate roots.
only the human mind can do this.
and gets hit. hit. hit. something tells us to wake up.
