For Your Hearth and Soul

Fire—and the hearth—have often been used as metaphors for the soul…

One may have a blazing hearth in one’s soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it.

Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.

Vincent Van Gogh

***

A life without love in it is like a heap of ashes upon a deserted hearth,

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other

but in looking outward in the same direction.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

***

A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

Margaret Fuller
