Phoenix
Services Corporation

For thousands of years and in many cultures, people have relied
upon a staff as an indispensable and versatile tool to help them
accomplish their work and succeed in their goals.
The staff supports a weary traveler across uneven ground and
stony paths allowing him to travel greater distances with less
effort than if he walked alone. It may be used to support a
burden he carries, making his load lighter.
A staff may defend the person from an enemy who would take
away from him those things he needs to complete his journey.
The staff can extend the person's reach, catching a high branch
to bring fruit to his grasp. It can probe murky waters to help the
traveler cross safely.

The staff however valuable to the person is only a tool. It cannot
determine ther traveler's destination, his speed, or his route. It
cannot control the person's decisions. It does not receive praise
for the person's achievement, or credit for the person's success.
The stafff simply supports the traveler to exceed his own ability,
and to arrive safely at his chosen destination.
