Every ancient culture understood the phoenix. The Aztec calendar wheels, the Hindu Yuga cycles, the Christian resurrection—all point to the same truth: time is not a straight line to oblivion; it is a spiral. What seems “lost” returns at a higher turn. The flame of a past summer, a past love, a past civilization is never truly gone. It is stored in what Jung called the collective unconscious, waiting for the right wind to rekindle it.
Let it burn.
