When you're feeling lost ...
IN THE SEARCH for life's meaning, we each must walk our own path. But how do we take the first step when we don't know where we're going?
How can we avoid the many charlatans eager to lead us astray? And what if the biggest obstacle is our own doubts and fears?
Coming Home: A Poem for When You're Feeling Lost gently encourages us to trust our longing and take a leap of faith into the unknown, allowing our bodies to lead the way.
Because there’s no map—just the wisdom of our own feet. No instructions—just an unnamed yearning in our hearts.
At times mystical, often humorous, this charming illustrated poem is the first in a series about finding purpose and peace of mind by embracing our full humanity—body, mind, spirit, and emotion—to become truly whole.

Whimsical, wise, wondrous - Coming Home reads like a different book every time you pick it up. As you get lost in the beautiful illustrations and poetic storytelling, you'll discover your own pathways leading you home to yourself over and over again. Diane Hill is a true alchemist and Coming Home, pure magic.
Diane Hill’s playful yet profound Coming Home: A Poem for When You’re Feeling Lost is an allegory about coming home to self. With child-like images yet wise crone insights, fingerpaint seas and tempura nights, this simple journey is universal and apt for these times, where a human bean can become a human being.

A beautifully written and illustrated narrative poem about feeling lost and scared that reminds us home is not as far away as we might think. This book is both a comfort and an inspiration.

Coming Home: A Poem for When You're Feeling Lost is a thoughtful and enchanting journey full of deep insights and small delights. Part zen, part child wonderment, you can’t help but fall in love with what I call ‘the little bean’ as they navigate through their emotional inner realms to find their way home. Thank you for this touching and beautiful treasure of a book.
