Life is about being a Phoenix

I have a special relationship with Niagara Falls. The effect the falls have on me is of a rejuvenator that takes in my negative energies, my shackles and chains and dissolves them into its mightily falling and flowing water, and refills me with new energy and a joy of life. A positive force full of optimism. Its as if these falls know me and call me everytime they sense a need of refreshment in me.
Whatever be on your mind, once you reach the center of the falls, where the water is falling from 3 sides and the mists flying higher than the clouds, you can't but adore and be fascinated by the breathtaking showers!

There comes a point when you see your body (or some part of you) in frustration or suffering, but your real self knows better, it knows that this is just silliness that your vital body is suffering for something useless. At these realization you start laughing at the part of you that is undergoing pain.
It's a good feeling since it tells you that come what may, that real part of you will still 'enjoy' it!

This line, since it has come to me, intrigues me. A Phoenix burns and turns to ashes and then rises from the ashes, new, young and renewed. We come across points in our lives, where everything seems lost and no meaning is seen. All previous convictions seem to be vain and no horizon is in sight. But when we go through these flames, endure them, after rising we are fresh, renewed with better, higher convictions and an invaluable addition of experiences to our soul.
This process happens many a time in life, each time bringing out a higher part of our self and raising our consciousness.
We emerge renewed like a Phoenix out of the ashes!
