This Hearth is the Heart or Center of wherever I am. This would, in a village or home, be the center where the fire is – typically the kitchen.

In my world, this often includes a raven, dragon, phoenix, wolf, owl, platypus and lots of other creatures that come and go as they please.

Yes – I do live in the real earthly world, however these are the personalities that walk into the sanctuary I provide at any given time. This location could be a bench, a garden, the subway or metro in any given city or walking through one of our great national parks. It could also simply be a grocery store or sitting at a lovely cafe or restaurant.
