Spiritual Phoenixes

The human species is quite resilient, having been around for centuries; our souls, living and learning through trial and error; it’s the way we grow. Mistakes, failure are our teachers, gleaning from them we matriculate and like the phoenix rising from the ashes, we become wiser, evolving to new heights. Never fear the failures for they are lifetime guides for our souls; we are spiritual phoenixes.

Wonderful words of wisdom, M.L. You have touched me deeply with this one, as my own fear of failure held me back for decades, and now has completely overwhelmed me in the 'autumn of my years.' Sad, really. Even sadder to have to watch one of my four adult offspring, who has this trait even worse than I have it. Bravo, Gershon

Wow, creative interpretation of the theme, M.L. I like thinking that the lessons we learn in life help us grow like a spiritual phoenix. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, carolyn

We are more powerful than we think, thanks Carolyn.
