Indulgence and Phoenix Ashes

The poem “After Revelations” was a bounce-back-poem to another poem written by a young mother who is currently caught in the whirl of ‘now.’ Those of you who have read me often know that this is a rather . . . recurring theme. (To say the least!) I am going to indulge myself by posting a couple of more on the same subject. THEN I will shake my head like I’m coming out from under water and see about some Phoenix Ashes. I wonder what the Alchemical Sign is for Phoenix Ashes? Fire is an upright triangle, but the ashes must come before.
