Last night after sunset a Brahma Kamal bloomed in our garden. This queen of the night lasts but one night. It blooms and withers the next morning. It is said to be the bearer of good blessings. In Hindu mythology, it is said that the flower was created by Brahma for Shiva to give the elixir of life when Shiva placed the Elephant head on Lord Ganesha. After the nectar flowed from the Kamal on Lord Ganesha, its purpose was complete and the flower withered away.
Last month our laburnum tree flowered and renewed my hope in the world. Last night the Brahma Kamal created another emotion in me: gratitude.
Grateful for being blessed to see so much beauty in such a little precious thing for so little a time. Grateful that I was able to see it bloom, knowing that it would wither away so soon. Its short life was so meaningful. Life does not have to be long, but it can be joyfully beautiful. I was grateful to be alive to see such beauty in nature. Live like the Brahma Kamal, pure and simple, asking nothing in return, not even to see the sunrise in the morning, but giving so much beauty when it is alive, a blessing for the beholder to see and receive such beauty and feel grateful for.

3 年Extremely beautiful! We also have this plant in our home. It generally blossoms in October...when it blossoms, it brightens the whole house. Indeed, pure whiteness of this flower is spectacular.
