‘Blue Lotus Rising’
Acrylic, spray paint on papyrus
I’d heard of this mythical flower/lily and of its psychedelic qualities years ago but didn’t realise its importance in ancient Egyptian culture. During my recent visit to Egypt I saw it everywhere in almost every tomb and hieroglyph easing the passage between this life and the next.
The Egyptian Book of the Dead-The Papyrus of Ani, Becoming the Blue Lotus
As if I’d slept for a thousand years underwater I wake into a new season. I am the Blue Lotus rising.
I am the cup of dreams and memory opening, I the thousand petal flower.
At dawn the sun rises naked as a babe I open myself and I am entered by light.
This is the joy, the slow awakening into fire as one by one the petals open, as fingers that held tight the secret unfurl.
I let go of the past and release the fragrance of flowers.
I open and light descends,fills me and passes through, each thin blue petal reflected in clear water.
I am the lotus filled with light reflected in the world.
I float content within myself, a flower with a thousand petals, one life lived a thousand years without haste, one universe sparkling a thousand stars, one god alive in a thousand people.
If you stood on a summers morning on the bank under a brilliant sky you would see the thousand petals and say together they make up the lotus.
But if you lived in its heart, invisible from without, you might see how the ecstasy at it’s fragrant core give rise to its thousand petals.
What is beautiful is always that which is itself in essence, a certainty of being, I marvel at myself and the things of the earth.
I float among the days in peace, content. Not part of the world, the world is all parts of me.
I open myself towards the light and lift myself to the gods on the perfume of a prayer. I ask for nothing beyond myself. I own everything, I own everything I need.
I am content in the company of god, a prayer that contains no answer.
I am the lotus as if from a dream I wake up laughing.
