The Phoenix is Burning

The phoenix is a mythological bird that when it is old and dying, burns into a bright flame. From the ashes, the phoenix is reborn.

If my life were a phoenix, the phoenix is burning.

The hard part of having your life burn down is having faith that this is a necessary albeit painful step to greater happiness and peace. I have to have faith that my life will be reborn, recreated, better than it is today.

The burning is necessary. The old must be destroyed so new growth can emerge.
