~ Quotation on "Blazes" ~
Courage, Change & Hope
In finding quotations for the blazes section it soon
became apparent that it was going to be difficult to find many inspirational
or motivational quotes just about the phoenix. Yet the phoenix is a powerful
representation of the transformation process that occurs in the grieving
response following a loss or significant life-altering event, as a symbol
of hope and rebirth. Instead we looked for quotations that could represent
the strong image of the blazing phoenix rising from the ashes of hopelessness.
So often,
we believe that we have
come to a place
that is void of hope
and void of possibilities,
only to find that it
is the very hopelessness
that allows us to hit
bottom,
give up our illusion
of control,
turn it over, and ask
for help.
Out of the ashes of our
hopelessness
comes the fire of our
hope.

Like the mighty phoenix,
Once again I rise from
the flames set to destroy me & take flight.
I am
Stronger
Glorious
