The Phoenix is the symbol of life.
It is born it lives and then it dies but from its ashes it is born again.
Just like it is for people.
The Phoenix is a powerful symbol.
There are a lot of stories about the phoenix even from times before there was written word.
The Phoenix has probably been around longer then evolution (which is the word scientists have chosen to use instead of life)They like to use big words to make them look smart but come fellows lets call a spade a spade and life, life and they accuse creative people of bing wordy.
The Phoenix is one popular mythological creature out there.
Like the Phoenix we to will raise from the ashes and like the Phoenix we will be born, we will live and we will die only to raise again and do everything all over again until the end of time or until we are to used up to come back again and then only then we will draw our last breath.
I'm not scared and I am not trying to romanticize death and life.
I think that the Phoenix is the perfect symbol of life.
And I love the Phoenix's story.
It isn't as cold as the story about evolution.
I like the way that even to this day writers and story tellers still tell the story of the Phoenix and each story told is a story that a generation can get behind because as we advance so does the story about the phoenix.
It fits into every generation greatly.
It has been adapted to comic books and children's books.
It is a tale before time and like the Phoenix itself it will never die
Each generation will hear about the Phoenix.
And each generation will keep the Phoenix alive and should a generation faultier in this and the phoenix just melts away into the obsess it will return one day like its name sake when humanity is at its blackest moment it will once again take flight.
If only to remind us that there is still magic in this world still innocence still goodness still something to fight and to die for.
The Phoenix will always be there one only has to open their mind and their hearts.
And listen to its song.
The song of live.
The song of death.
The song of rebirth.
The song of wisdom older then time its self.
And lets not forget the beauty that is the Phoenix and the ugliness and once again the beauty.
