THE
PHOENIX
The
embodiment of cycle of life.
The
Phoenix represents our capacity for vision and the events unfolding within it.
Creating with its great beauty, intense excitement and inspiration.
The Story
of the Phoenix
Bird of
Fire
A bird
that has no young.
Here when
the world began and still living today.
Remaining
in peace, flying freely, singing songs of praise.
Five
hundred years passed.
The
Phoenix had grown weary, not soaring so high, nor flying so strong.
"I
want to be young and strong."
The
Phoenix built a nest with cinnamon bark. Sitting upon the nest the suns
rays beat down upon the Phoenix.
A flash -
flames leaped from the nest, and the Phoenix was a blaze of fire.
GONE
In the
nest, only silvery-gray ash.
From
under the ash rose up a young Phoenix. Moment by moment it grew.
“I shall
sing my songs for you forever.”
Every
five hundred years, building a fragrant nest, the Phoenix once again burns to
ashes. Each time rising up, fresh, new, young.
