Thanks Andy, i understand your point.
It is alway good to have a reminder to practice respect in serious sensitive matters.
and to keep trying to refine the bounds. sincerely.

If i may explain a little more.
I saw your post, and on a whim i Youtube googled "snake" "lotus flower"
- i was actually shooting for a 'snake in lotus pond' clip to post.
But you know how things turn out, occasionally an unexpected little gem pops up out of the detritus.

That's how i was led to my new second-best friend, the mid-west hobby preacher
He was not actually live streaming, but it did look like his garage.
AND the whole subject of his 30 min discourse was on this very topic.

Nice guy, you could tell pretty quick. and sane. Clear face, calm, no heat and drama.
just talking about last night's "flash vision" of the snake approaching the lotus flower - and the meaning of that.

Sure, i was having a bit of fun, but i did not mean to be disrespectful.
I actually cut out a couple of my more smartarse phrases.
I really thought it was a charming little scene i had stumbled across out there in the Ether-world
- and worth sharing that glimpse. But yeah, i do know what you're saying.

Big thanks also, AKK-47, for those explanations of the place the Lotus flower holds in Buddhist wisdom.
Another precious little gem pops up out of the Ether-world.
'great lens you got.
