“Sometimes what’s dead must be burned away to make room for new life. Sometimes you just have to step back and let the brittle bits ignite - but once those flames begin to dance their caustic dance, don’t you dare look the other way. Don’t close your eyes. Watch closely and let that image seer itself forever on your mind. Remember what it looked like in the midst of the soot, the smoke, and the haze. Remember, so you don’t repeat the same conditions that required such a blaze.” LifeInspirational QuotesDeathFirePoemWisdom QuotesSpiritual QuotesBurningFlamesSpirituality QuotesRebirthPhoenixAwakening QuotesFire QuotesRebirth QuotesCristen Rodgers Quotes Author:Cristen Rodgers
“Oh sure, I appreciate physical beauty too. I can get excited about the primped and pruned outer shell; I can swoon over bright feathers, striking poses, and perfected prose as much as the next person. But in truth, I much prefer indulging my ethereal sense to those lesser ones – that inner sense that picks up on a deeper and far more exhilarating kind of beauty. That kind of beauty that presents itself slowly, slipping out one layer, one moment, one expression at a time as you really get to know someone. That’s what really gets me going. That’s the only kind that truly satisfies me – the kind of beauty that shines from within. The kind that speaks, not to the eyes, but that reflects back to them after first touching the heart.” Spiritual QuotesBeauty QuotesAuthenticity QuotesIntimacy QuotesCristen Rodgers Quotes Author:Cristen Rodgers
