Wash Away The Taint

Splash mud on a beautiful flower and a gentle rain washes it away.

“What’s your point Hubbell?” you might rightfully say.
If we let the mud, the insults, other people’s opinions, and other’s anger inside, it will taint us and imprint on our mind and on our heart an image of ourselves that’s almost impossible to wash away.
If we surrender to negative impressions, thoughts and ideas, those images will eventually be realized in us.
If out of anger, we submit to other’s actions, attitudes, and belief’s we become just like those who mean us harm.
On the other hand, if we let negative images, ideas, and thoughts pass over, around, and straight through us, there is no lasting image that remains and purity remains untainted.
We can all be the lotus flower that brings beauty and joy to it surroundings, despite living in the mud and tainted water.
