Lotus - resilience
Swans - calm and peace
Bamboo - tough and yet flexible
Flying birds - freedom
I feel that fighting cancer needs all of the above qualities and maybe more.
Being resilient is something I always want to maintain in my battle with cancer, like the lotus growing through the mud.
It helps to be at peace with myself, and have calmness within. Looking at swans gliding gracefully on the water always have that effect on me.
When it comes to decision making where choice of treatment is concerned, I liked that I am an active participant instead of a passive one, be tough and firm and at the same time, flexible where necessary, like the bamboo that will bend with the winds and yet not break.
With a positive attitude, I can free myself and not live the rest of my life under the grip and shadow of cancer, like the birds flying freely in the sky.
The objects individually, hold a lot of meaning for me, even though I got my perspectives all wrong when I put them together in one big picture.
