A poppy is about to bloom.

John, my engineer, and I had an early start on Thursday - we arrived at the showground at half past 5, so that we could get BBC Radio Merseyside on air at 6. john_reynolds_in_van.jpgClaire 'Minty' Minter did her travel reports from the flower show for Tony Snell's Breakfast programme, as well as chatting to a nyone else she could find at that time in the morning - it felt like we were the only people about but she did manage to track down one or two stalwarts, including Show Manager, Kris Hulewicz. Later, we were joined by BBC Radio Lancashire's, John 'Gilly' Gilmore. Gilly was on air all afternoon and boy, was it hot! Luckily for Gilly, he'd brought his producer, Sue Hendey, who ensured he was covered in Factor 50 and had plenty of water. However, there's not much shade and they were both wilting by 4 o'clock. So, if Minty's early starts and Gilly's sunstroke haven't put you off and you think you can give Wogan a run for his money, get yourself a nickname...

Beautiful white lotus blossom - A perfectly shaped lotus blossom.
Lotus flowers grow from the depth of murky and often polluted water upward toward the sunlight. Just like mankind grows from the darkness of hell on earth upward toward God.

No matter how dirty the water of a lotus pond, the lotus flower always develops an exotic sweet fragrance and abundance of lotus nectar. Such is the nature of mankind having spent years or incarnations on earth - the darker the life and surroundings of their incarnation, the sweeter and the more powerful their divine love afterwards when re-united with God at home in God.

A perfectly shaped lotus blossom with its evenly shaped lotus petals, such as the one shown in the photo is like Sahasrara Chakra on top of a human head after fully one with God.

The thousandfold lotus of the Sahasrara Chakra represents the thousandfold divine aspects of a fully developed spiritual human being. The number thousandfold is just an example to tell you there are really MANY aspects to be developed before spiritually matured. By far more than thousand!
