Hi Marina,
We both have similar thoughts on this symbol.
When I first thought of this symbol, my mind went immediately to the thousand petal lotus in full bloom surrounded by an array of swirling colors. Its petals gently embracing, nuturing and holding the miracle of life!
This is an incredible picture by Alex Grey, of a mother nursing her child.

We celebrated my daughter’s birthday this weekend, and this symbol took me back to when she was but a babe in my arms. She was so helpless, so delicate, so small, so priceless.
I was blessed with three beautiful children which were given to me to care for, nurture, protect and teach. Each one of them is a unique little being filled with hopes, visions, self belief and an awesome power of being able to create anything imaginable. At individual stages of their development they tested and keep testing and pushing through their limits, gaining a higher vibration, a higher awareness each time. Each one is a reincarnation of a great teacher, whose work is revealed to them a little at a time. Each is a clairvoyant and skilled in magic, but this skill as a human is still in training.
Anything we create, bring into being should be treated as if it were a child. After all, we are responsible for its development, its well-being and its growth. And in that development we might have to learn a trade, back to school, to make a project happen, then so be it! Go back to school. We have to learn and learn well what we want to become.
Yes, there will be times we will find the learning, the study, the discipline to be a waste of time. But everything we feed ourselves, also feeds our creation. All the nurturing, feeding and caring that makes up our manifestation will come together. It’s just that our egos don’t understand that we will be put to the task each time of taking care of our responsibilities. A task that brings the physical, the spiritual, and the emotional together.
