I have to say this is what we do well at HHH…hospitality of the heart. I know this cultural value starts with the residents.
AND it is the staff that lives and breaths it back to them.
As you may be feeling the weariness and weight of the struggles of life in this time and place, stand up proud.
You are part of a community that knows something about hospitality of the heart. You are valued and appreciated in your part of it.

A poem
for your reflection

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt-marvelous error!-
That a spring was breaking
Out in my heart.
I said: Along which secret aqueduct,
Oh water, are you coming to me,
Water of new life
That I have never drunk?

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt-marvelous error!-
That I had a beehive
Here inside my heart,
And the golden bees
Were making white combs
And sweet honey
From my old failures.

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt-marvelous error!-
That a fiery sun was giving
Light inside my heart.
It was fiery because I felt
Warmth as from a hearth
And sun because it gave light
And brought tears to my eyes..

Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt-marvelous error!-
That it was God I had
Here inside my heart.

By Antonio Machado

Be the tenderness you hope for the world, first to yourself, then to your beloveds and then to your enemies and then beyond and beyond.
