I was reminded of some words from a song in Chitty Chitty bang bang as we discussed what makes success possible and kept thinking of the lines " up from the ashes, up from the ashes, grow the roses of success"

or as T.S. Eliot wrote, the way up is the way down. The still point of the turning world.
I am glad that you mentioned you posted something about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - I had no idea. Funny that we would both make a connection to the same movie...Great minds think alike I suppose.
