Hello welcome to the yahoo list now known as THE RISING PHOENIX why do we choose this name..because this list is being lifted once again up out of the ashes.

Out of my ashes
will rise a new phoenix.
A soaring being
returning from death
proving once again
that life is eternal.
I live forever
because the spirit
never dies.
I will return
in another body
in another time,
but it is me.
The me who is me now
will always be.
As long as I live,
I learn.
And I live
forever.

On this list we will be having SAMMY'S INTREPID STORY CHALLENGES.

Also there will be updates of the story FATE by DE Salsbury which started this list in the first place.
