The Venus Flower Basket - Symbol Of Love
By John Edwards, Sat Dec 10th
One of the most beautiful of all the creatures that live in theoceans is the rare and very seldom seen Venus flower basket. Itonly grows on the ocean floor at depths of three thousand tofive thousand feet, in the warm tropical waters of the SouthPacific, mostly around the Philippines and Japan. This creature is actually a sponge; however it does not lookanything like the sponges you use for cleaning in your home. Itis extremely beautiful, intricate, and dainty. When full grownthe Venus flower basket is tube shaped and about twelve incheslong, usually with some slight curvature. It looks like it is made up of an intricate fine lace expertlyspun in glass fibers no thicker than human hair. It is woven inthe form of a hollow tube shaped like a rams horn. The smaller,tapered end is anchored to the ocean floor by a multitude offine glass-like fibers. The larger end has a lacey looking capover it.
Because it looks like it is woven from glass it is sometimescalled a glass sponge. Its scientific name is EuplectellaAspergillum. When the Venus flower basket is small, tiny shrimp swim in andout of it. However, as the Venus Flower Basket grows it sealsoff the open upper end, and at the same time the shrimps grow sothat they cannot swim through the side of the Venus flowerbasket. As this happens, a pair of shrimps, one male and onefemale, will stay inside the Venus flower basket and becometrapped there. This pair of shrimps

will spend the rest of theirlives inside that Venus flower basket. To the Japanese this is a symbol of eternal love and beinghappily married forever. A Venus flower basket is sometimesgiven as a wedding present in Japan because of this beautifulsymbolism. There is no such thing as for these shrimp couples. With gaining epidemic portions in some countries, can welearn a lesson from these shrimp? God, the creator of all of usas well as these little shrimps, did not intend, nor does hewant, marriages to end in divorce. If these shrimps have a problem, somehow they work it out. Theyshare their living space, food, and everything else with eachother. Likewise we need to learn to work out the problems in ourmarriage and make them work. Learning how to share better andmore often is a good start. Spencer W. Kimball, one of the great religious leaders of ourtime, said that all is the result of selfishness by oneor both marriage partners. Shouldn't we start being less selfishand start serving more in our marriage and family? As we serveand unselfishly give within our homes, our love for our spouseand children will increase, team cooperation will increase, andproblems will start being solved in a spirit of love and mutualtrust.
