Phoenix Ampadu

...According to Greek legend......the Phoenix is a lone beautiful bird, the only one of its kind. Said to live for nearly five hundred years when it then begins to build a nest of logs and dry sticks while at the same time singing a melodious dirge. Once completed the phoenix flaps its wings furiously setting the nest on fire. Resting on top of the burning pile the Phoneix becomes engulfed in flames it consumes itself into ashes. The phoenix then resurects itself rising from the ashes a new bird equally alone and unique to live for another five hundred years. The bird not only represents immortality, but also an individual who stands apart from the rest, a person of rare qualities.
