Sometimes you fall. Sometimes your world turns to ashes around you. While the burning, the loss, and the pain of it kills part of you, it does not mean the end. Instead it just marks the turning point of the hero’s journey.
This means it is time to settle the past. To leave ashes what must be let go. Do not dwell on them. You can rise from the ruins of what was full of fire and new life.
“When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed.”
~ Joseph Campbell
A phoenix captured in the moment of its rebirth, exploding into life.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ~ Gautama Buddha

“Sunlight on a broken column There, is a tree swinging And voices are In the wind’s singing More distant and more solemn Than a fading star. “ - T.S.Eliot
A reminder that even in times when the world seems ashes that there is often a solemn beauty to what remains… to what is true.
A young girl who played a Warlock in a certain MMO decided to make a bet with me. She asked for a fractal that could be her character’s summoning circle. And she wanted it in pink, because her mother hates pink.
“Life is a journey; weather traveled by foot, by wings of magic, or only in the mind, the voyager must always move forward. To stand still is to be lost.
