    Hello everyone,

    Welcome to the group, Chiara! I'm happy to announce that I have just finished my masters degree and I have now more free time. If anyone is interested in meeting for a coffee, I'll be more than happy to spend some time in a nice conversation!

    I found this beautiful poem in our Art of Hosting booklet and I wanted to share it with you:

    I will keep the fire in my heart

    With the bright face of the moon as my witness
    Friends, I promise you
    That I will keep the fire in my heart.
    I will lean into that fire
    Even if it melts the soles of my shoes
    Even if it singes my hair and blackens my fingers
    I will not stop
    For our humanity is at stake.
    There, in the centre of the fire, there where we have always met
    Are the embers the wise ones have sheltered on our behalf.
    What we have always known, long in the forgetting
    Is rising through the flames again.
    It takes those of us who are the firekeepers,
    Who are the rocksitters, who have the circle in our blood and bone
    To make the shape that calls the others home.
    We have hidden the patterns in our stories, our poems, our songs
    In the deepest parts of our being.
    And we will speak, we will sing, we will dance our way
    Back.
    Even now the plazas beckon. Even now the squares call out
    For life lived in its fullest expression.
    You who have been solitary, you who have been alone
    Remember this word:
    Together.
    - Mary Alice Arthur
