Are we rising from the ashes?

The Phoenix is a mythological bird, known from ancient Greek mythology, that regenerates by cyclically dying in flames and being reborn from its own ashes. Many cultures have fairy-tale birds resembling the Phoenix. For instance, Russian Firebird is also a phoenix bird. The phoenix bird lives at least 500 years, depending on which ancient source you read. Before dying, the bird builds the nest, sets itself on fire, and after burning to ashes, it eats its worm while regenerating to life again.

It symbolizes rebirth, and I think many of us feel the pain of rebirth once in a lifetime, and it is how I feel now. I believe that I am going to eat my worm soon. Before then, I live it all in the fire and seek my worm for, hopefully, the next life ahead. Will I find my worm and rise from the ashes? I do not care since I have many lives to live and burn.
