The figurative form of the Lotus represents many ideas in Asian cultures, beauty, elegance, perfection, purity, and grace to name a few. The unfolding petals hint at the expansion of the human soul. In songs and poetry it is sometimes used as an allegory for feminine attributes.

America is a land of many immigrants. Each story is compelling. It is very personal, and some have to dig deeper into history than others. It's a story that flows through family and relations, growing as intergenerational lives weave together. Diversity makes America what it is today - a "melting pot" that is also expressed in the Latin "e pluribus unum", meaning "out of many, one." And it is this rich experience that inspires creativity and fuels innovation.
This land is your land, This land is my land.
