CHLORIS REINCARNATION Collection

In order to rise

From its own ashes

A phoenix

First

Must

Burn.

- from Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler

Like a phoenix raising back to life gloriously from its own ashes, like all the stars burning out then shriveling to almost nothing before exploding into a supernova - flowers withering and crushing themselves under the scorching sun, for them to reincarnate into a whole new form, for the universe to repeat in an endless cycle.
