Hello, I am lotusWFive. I'm creating this blog to open the energy for something new for me and, I hope, for you, too. Please bear with me because I have no experience and only lots of enthusiasm to go with.
What does LotusWFive mean and where did it come from. I think of "lotus' as a spiritual icon. It is a flower that grows in water, beginning in the oozy mud at pond bottom and rising upward to the surface where it spreads leaves and eventually flowers as an often magnificent, fragrant blossom. I think of this image as an inspiration for a life which seeks a higher way. Don't you think, as I do, that our world is ready for a higher way and right now? Certainly, the higher way begins in me and then, like the lotus itself, rises to the surface of a murky pond and blooms.
WFive comes from the name of a broadcast by CBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, weekly on Saturday evening beamed from the national capital, Ottawa, which offered a synopsis of news from 5 w's namely, why, who, what, when, and where. This "WFive" will similarly bring to you information, comment, news, interviews, and what have you from these five points of view.
I propose to make them come more of less in order, why, who, what, when and where so that I may, and you as well, find in the archive an ongoing thread in each of these categories hopefully making it fairly easy to keep track of ideas you may be following.
This is the first "why" entry: I think this is about the philosophy of it all. Why blog at all? To bring out of myself something that I have yet to explore. It is my view that life is a journey rooted in the muddiness of a physical life beginning with family and society that sends a shoot through each of our experiences from childhood to maturity to an enlightenment, an unfolding beauty, a fragrance expressed in our service to each other and to all of life. My elderhood blooms now that I am ending seven decades next year with my 70th birthday!
I've chosen today because my study of numerology has tuned me into cycles of 9 years through applying the month and day of my birthday with the year number to point me to the exact place in those 9 years where this date lives, for me, the 5 universal day in a 5 cycle year. (As I go along I will give more about this and point you to other places where you may get other information.) For now, just trust me: this is the perfect day to begin!
