Description
Like every year , this is my b i r t h d a y deviation . to me .
" and then i felt sad because i realised
that once people are broken in certain
ways , they can't ever be fixed.
And this is something nobody ever tells
you when you are young and it never fails
to surprise you as you see people in your life
break one by one as you grow older.
You wonder when your turn is going to be ,
or if it's already happened "
Since these spider Lilies usually bloom near cemeteries around the autumnal equinox,
they are described in Chinese and Japanese translations of the Lotus Sutra
as ominous flowers that grow in 地 獄(also known as Hell), and guide the dead into the next reincarnation.
A famous legend is of two elves: 曼 珠, who guarded the flower, and 沙 華 who guarded the leaves.
Out of curiosity, they defied their fate of guarding the herb alone, and managed to meet each other.
At first sight, they fell in love ♥ with each other. G.O.D, exasperated by their waywardness,
separated the miserable couple, and laid a curse on them as a punishment:
the flowers of 曼 珠 shall never meet the leaves of 沙 華 again.
It was said that when the couple met after death in hell , they vowed to meet each other after reincarnation.
However, neither of them could keep their words. ♥
Some other legends have it that when a person sees someone that they may never meet again,
these flowers, also called red spider lilies, would bloom along the path. Perhaps because of these sorrowful legends .
have a beautiful day !!!
