   Overflowing golden chalice

   A hand extending from the clouds gently supports a golden chalice. The water spilling over beyond what it can hold symbolizes emotions given freely and a source of love that never runs dry.

2. 2
   White dove carrying a golden disc

   A white dove descends above the chalice with its wings spread wide, holding a golden disc in its beak. The dove is a messenger of grace sent from the heavens, signifying that this beginning of emotion is blessed from above.

3. 3
   Blue jewel set in the chalice

   A blue jewel has been carefully crafted into the body of the cup. Holding the element of water and the purity of emotion, this jewel symbolizes the value of a heart that arises from sincerity rather than appearances.

4. 4
   Lotuses on the pond

   White lotuses bloom across the still water beneath the chalice. As flowers that bloom clearly even in murky water, lotuses signify spiritual blossoming as emotions are purified and open into pure beauty.

5. 5
   Five streams flowing downward

   Five streams of water flow continuously from the chalice into the pond below. The five streams signify emotions permeating evenly through the five senses, symbolizing the fullness of the heart spreading into every corner of life.

   Small stars shine brightly between the clouds. They tell you that a new emotion is beginning like the breaking dawn, and that this beginning is filled with hope.

   Cypresses lining the water’s edge

   Straight-growing cypress trees stand in a row on both sides of the pond. Reaching upright toward the sky, these trees symbolize a spiritual orientation in which emotions grow steadily toward higher places.
