I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.
-Hafiz, 14th Century Persian Poet
The hearthstone is the flat stone that sits in the fireplace or “hearth,” providing a safe and secure base for the fire to burn. A hearth is a place where people gather. It provides safety and security: generating heat to spread throughout the home and shining a bright light to keep out the darkness. This is where family, friends, and neighbors gather to share laughs and tell stories, feed hungry bellies, and love one another.
Sometimes in life, it can feel like we have lost our “hearth.” Maybe we have traveled far away, emotionally or physically.
We feel abandoned or lost to our family and friends. We are figuratively out in the cold and dark. My hope for you is that we can work together to help you find your way back to the hearth, whatever that means for you. It may mean finding new patterns of behavior so you can reconnect with family and friends and feel a sense of belonging again. It may mean creating a new, loving, found family to gather around your hearth. It may mean a journey of rediscovery to find and live your authentic values and return to a sense of being truly yourself.
Let’s work together to rekindle the fire in your hearth.
