Realisations of the phoenix

I thought Id tell you about my sites names and the significance of a phoenix. As per wiki
The phoenix is traditionally the name given to a colourful bird usually in bright orange and red, the colour of fire. The myth of the phoenix originates from Greek philosophy. A phoenix is a bird which is thought to have a life span of 500 to 100 years at the end of its lifespan it is thought to builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek). The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being immortal and invincible — it is also said that it can heal a person with a tear from its eyes and make them temporarily immune to death. The phoenix is a symbol of fire and divinity.

Your probably wondering so what does the phoenix symbolise for my and why does my site carry the mythical creatures name? Well if you closely at the phoenix you will realise the phoenix is metaphoric representation of human life, no matter how many times you fall you will heal yourself just like the phoenix, helping others along the way. When you sense you cannot continue you will fall to ashes of dust but then the passion and desire will rapture into flames bringing you new spirit to carry on.
