The lotus flower is my favorite and the phoenix is my favorite bird. The lotus flower and the Phoenix bird are both resilient. On one hand the lotus flower is born out of muddies waters and it emerges on top of the water as a beautiful lilypad. It pushes through the all the mud at the bottom water all the way out of the water until it is on top all because it recognizes RA- the sun shining above. I think that is an awesome natural thing. on the other hand you have the beautiful phoenix bird. Fire is none to destroy, but in the case of the phoenix bird. The Phoenix bird, as the myth goes, can be attacked in mid-air however as it descends at great speed to the almos bottom as it to smash into the ground; he will just flails into a burst of fire. After the phoenix bird burst into fire that bird turns around and soars upward with great speed and becomes a most beautiful sight. I also think in the hands of the grateful a black coal stone if carefully cared for treated, can become a beautiful diamond.

Now here we have situations that call for resilience, fortitude, and confidence things that build character in human beings. The action of lily, the phoenix and the coal is in the very law of nature. For example, it is proven that Blacks hair is known to grow up toward the sun. These antidotes tell a story of resilience, courage, persistence, and confidence. If observed thoughtfully one can learn to develop these needed characteristics for a life of self-acceptance. These observations are in nature, in self-experiences, and yes reading, (we must continue to read and learn). Courage to believe that I don’t know that when I was in the muddy water of life I’d get to the sunshiny parts. Like the Phoenix bird I may go down broken but rise like a Phoenix if I start to believe. Like the the that piece of coal vigorously rubbed until it comes shinning through and comes through brighter than ever.

I say all this to say I have learned …and keep learning that I need to know more. The spirit as I know it is in me, to lead the way. Learn from everything, the successes and the missed targets; Get back up with more vigor and grace push through again and again. We may not like the processes but it works if you start to believe it will work. Rather you hit the target or miss the target it is a chance for knowing… what to do or what not to do the next time…keep track. Study self, someone once said “don’t do the same thing over and over if it does not work try something else different because we are not all crazy.”
