A warm hearth
is a shelter,
a place that draws us in,
invites us to sit a while.
Its humble strength
allows us to come together,
to see each other
in a softer light.
It is here, at the hearth,
that we come home
to each other
and to ourselves.
As the amber flames
serenade us,
our bodies and souls sway, soften,
prepare to receive.
And when we allow it,
when we answer the call,
the flames stoke the fire
of our own inner divinity.
We become our own hearths,
drawing others in, inviting them to sit a while.
We come home to ourselves and to each other.
We cast a softer light.
