In order for the Phoenix to rise from the ashes, it must be burned. The Phoenix represents transformation, and it is during our darkest times that we grow and transform ourselves. Just like the butterfly that emerges from the cocoon. The caterpillar must endure darkness, through which it transforms into a butterfly. Same with a seed, it is buried in darkness, until it emerges into the light. There must be a balance of light and dark, balance is the way of life. You won’t know happiness until you experience sadness, and the other way around. The Ying and Yang represents the balance between light and dark. 🔥🖤🤍✨
