The Legend of the Phoenix
In the Garden of Paradise,
beneath the Tree
of Knowledge,
bloomed a rose bush.
Here, in the first rose,
a bird was born.
His flight was like the flashing of light,
his plumage was beauteous,
and his song ravishing.
When Adam and Eve were driven from Paradise,
there fell from the flaming sword of the cherub
a spark into the nest of a bird,
Which blazed up forthwith.
The bird perished in the flames;
but from the red egg in the nest there fluttered aloft a new one....
The one solitary Phoenix bird.The phoenix was a fabulous mythical bird,
said to be as large as an eagle,
with brilliant scarlet and gold plumage and a melodious cry.
It was said that only one phoenix existed at any one time,
and it was very long-lived - no ancient sources
gave it a life-span less than 500 yrs.
As its end approached,
the phoenix made a nest of aromatic branches and spices,
set it on fire, and was consumed in the flames.
And from the ashes miraculously sprang a new phoenix.The phoenix is the symbol of high virtue and grace,
of power and prosperity.
It represents the union of yin and yang.
It was thought to be a gentle creature,
alighting so gently that it crushed nothing,
and eating only dewdrops.
I love most all music. My taste is very eclectic... I love Green Day, Creed, Nickleback, Lenny Kravits, and then i Love Celtic women, Folk, old Rock, meditation music, Mozart, Bethoven, Tchaikovsky, Andre Bochelli , Pavarotti.
I love comedies, romance, thrillers. I am not to fond of horor. To me they are stupid, I mean come on ... "oh there's and undead, mask wearing foul smelling murderer running loose int he camp ... oh well come on hunny lets go for a romantic walkint he woods." Sheeesh mind numbing stupididty!
