the picture above is a lotus flower. the 'lotus' is a symbolic flower in Hindu iconography. according to Wikipedia, "the growth of its pure beauty from the mud of its origin holds a benign spiritual promise."
so are you getting that? this flower starts in the icky mud of a pond, grows up through the water (while miraculously thermoregulating its own temperature) and blossoms beautifully at the surface... *hint: this is a metaphor, be the lotus.
"One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto [Love], is unaffected by sinful action, as the lotus is untouched by water." - Bhagavad Gita 5.10

I wish I could thermoregulate. People would be like, "Wow, a tank top? It's snowing! Aren't you cold?" and I'd be like, "Nope."
hahahahahahahahaaha me too! especially at work, where it is -67 degrees in my cubicle but then as soon as i step outside, a sweltering and humid 85. a girl can only layer so much...
