After scorching fire,
green tendrils emerge from ash,
a new growth cycle.
Fire does not stop life.
What endures may be stronger.
First, it must survive.
After survival,
easing the path to thriving
becomes then the goal.

Like the phoenix, those new shoots rise from the ashes. I haven't totally burned out yet, but maybe if I do, I can begin again. I love the idea of reincarnating ourselves.
This is very Five-Element as my acupuncturist would discuss it... Water creates Wood, Wood creates Fire.
And life is... well, LIFE! And Life's "thing" is to live.
And, perhaps, even thrive. Ashes or not.
Muff, as a theoretical concept, I still believe in the phoenix phenomenon. Stark reality sometimes mightily tests that concept though.
Robert, truthfully, I would prefer it to thrive ... mostly. If life's thing is to live, though, is it a closed loop of thinking that fools us? Hmm. Just a thought.
