The ashes remain. There is no need for God to remove them for in their molecular structure is the ability to produce life from what was: the history of failure and struggle, the past beyond our grasp. The plants are green, the are small, but numerous as life springs forth, growing slowly but extending it's roots deeply into the soil, our souls remember the past but are slowly beginning to forgot. The blessing is in the ashes just as much as the life coming from it. Things must be burned for the soul to be fertile ground for life, mountains must be moved, weeds taken away, rocks thrown aside, thorns cut back, for a clearing to appear to allow life to begin again, harmful things aside that only Jesus Christ remains.
