Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.  Pablo Picasso

Whoever must be a creator in good and evil, verily, he must first be an annihilator and break values. Thus the highest evil belongs to the highest goodness: but this is creative.  Nietzsche

We will likely be better able to integrate the destroyer aspect of our identity if we can see ourselves as “creative destroyers,” those who destroy in the service of creation, which in the end, may be the secret key to unlocking and releasing the floodgates of our creative potential for growth and constructive transformation.  Scott Kiser

Without an understanding of myth or religion, without an understanding of the relationship between destruction and creation, death and rebirth, the individual suffers the mysteries of life as meaningless mayhem alone.  Marion Woodman

Nothing in life is to be feared.  It is only to be understood.  Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.  Marie Curie

A fire-like event may be just what you need in your life to press the great reset-button and allow for a new start.  Regardless if the fire was set by external circumstances or of your own doing, it is important to see how that destruction may spawn a complete rebirth of life, opportunities, and possibilities that otherwise may have not existed before. In the wake of destruction, welcome the forthcoming creation to follow and rise above whatever happens.   Andy Wooten
