The Phoenix.
"Rising from the ashes."
The ancient Greeks and Egyptians described this mythical bird as a magnificent creature that was a worshiped deity. Each Phoenix lived for 500 years and right before his time was up, the Phoenix built a nest and set itself on fire.
Renewal. Restart. Redo. Perseverance.
The Lotus.
"Out of the mud, comes beauty."
The Lotus flower is the perfect similitude for the human condition. Its roots are in the dirtiest waters, yet the Lotus still produces the most glorious bloom.
Purity. Enlightenment. Self Regeneration. Rebirth.
Symbols of symbols.
My two favorite.
They uplift. Give strength. Help get through.
And, you?
What's your sign?
