I sit at a campfire.
Alone and content.
The fire warms me.
Brings me light.
Someone arrives...
...
For a while we sit
in silence.
And then I begin.
I’m Jules.
Welcome.
What brings you here?
And then I listen.
Truly.
I sit inside their words,
share in their story.
And when curiosity sparks,
like an ember from the fire,
I ask a question.
And listen again.
If the time comes and the direction moves,
I may tell a story or two,
And a conversation
has found a home.
How does that sound
to you?
