Beautiful moments amongst the ashes, your words are the phoenix. 🐦‍🔥🧡❣️

There's something poetic about only chimneys remaining standing. Hearth-heart-heat-earth, something to do with home and love and community, maybe. ❤️

‘Focus’ - is Greek for Hearth… obviously among other things - hearth being the ‘focus’ of the home…

Leah, as always, I love your writing and the fact that you look at the story from both sides. Your wonder, your ability to be open to the present moment is beautiful. And yes, the Phoenix is within you. Many blessings and love. I know your confusion will be reborn into new wisdom, new stories, and a new life.
