Phoenix Rising

Out of ashes, new beginnings,
Out of fire comes new power,
Out of darkness, new day dawning,
Phoenix help me in this trying hour.
DJ Conway

Beginning with Apophysis to make the flames and adding a photo of a tree stump that resembled a ‘phoenix’ to me, adding the words and voila…my interpretation of a phoenix rising from the ashes…
My name, Tammy, means palm tree and in Greek the word for phoenix is the same as for palm tree. Legend says that when the phoenix reached a thousand years old, it flew to a special place and built a funeral nest of sweet smalling woods and resins in a tall palm tree, when the nest was set ablaze by the force of the Sun, the phoenix stayed in the nest and was destroyed. After nine days, a new phoenix rose from the ashes.
