What we all need but so rarely get It is not counselling or therapy or psychoanalysis a cosy chat around the fire the sociability of friends It does not strive for intimacy or disclosure Neither is it consultancy or mentoring or spiritual direction But it is a space where the soul breathes and tells the stories without embarrassment And out of the stories the dialogue happens As when depth meets breadth to produce a landscape It is hospitality and journey and story reborn |
