BURN IT DOWN!

The phoenix is Mythical but real things rise from the ashes too.

People will always say. Oh don’t worry a Phoenix will rise. Well great, but you know what?

They’re not real.

When things get burned physically and literally they can be scarred for life. but even with scars, something magical can happen.

I learned something yesterday from a man I respect. I’d never even heard it before.

Did you know. There are seeds from some plants and some trees called pyrophytes, and they will only ever open and release after a forest fire.

A full forest fire has to wipe out the whole forest for these seeds to release.

Serotinous cones and fruits - These are sealed with resin and can only open after the heat of a fire melts the resin.

Aleppo pine cones - These burst open after a fire, releasing seeds that are essential for reproduction. 

Prairie species - These only sprout after fires clear the way. 

Jack pines - The heat of a fire can break seed dormancy, which enhances germination. The intense heat also cracks hard kernels, explodes seed cones, and allows water to leak in to begin the growth process.  (info From Google) —

The point is this.

Even in the worst times in your life. Which I feel I’ve experienced and still am experiencing. And I’m sure some of you have and are too.

Even in the very worst times.

Try to understand -

As much as it hurts.

As much as it feels like there is no way out.

As much as it feels like you have Nothing.

That you have No-one.

- That sometimes the whole forest has to be burned to the ground for the new one to grow.
