NOT YET RATED ▼
Unspoken Sonata by Stewart Stafford

Love's lullaby's unheard duet,
Kisses of life drown shallow opinions,
Prejudged by logic, yet set apart,
Our oasis bars the negative legions.

Eternal tongues of a mother lode;
Looks of love, a second-sight ploy,
To visions beyond earthly interpretation;
Dance down darkest paths to ecstatic joy.

Spoiler seers nix romantic ideals;
Abyssal agendas in jealousy's biome,
A caterpillar doxxed for its butterfly shape,
Real love's navigator guides us home.

Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
They die, I live. It's the way of the world, the way it's always been. I used to think that some good would come of my stories, that someone might be moved to act because of what I'd reported. I'm not sure I believe that anymore. One place improves, another falls apart. The map keeps changing; it's impossible to keep up. No matter how well I write, how truthful my tales, I can't do anything to save the lives of the children here, now.

Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
In the grasp of sorrow, it can feel as though we are walking through endless shadows, each step heavier than the last. Yet even in the depths, a whisper of hope lingers, gently stirring beneath the weight. Perhaps healing begins in the smallest of moments, when we allow ourselves to sense the tender kindness of our own heart, willing us forward despite the darkness.

I hope Andy is down there.
I hope I can make it across the border.
I hope to see my friend and shake his hand.
I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams.
I hope.

Believing that it is in the human nature to seek truth more than it seeks hope and alleviation, because a few individuals were staunch truth-seekers, is to believe that, because parrots can speak, it is in the very nature of birds to speak in human language!

Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
Compared to the size of the universe we are small and insignificant, but you’ve got to keep it in perspective. We’re lucky really, I mean think of the odds of you existing at all. The universe went through a billion acts of chance that led to you being conceived, millions of chemical reactions occurred just to make you, you. Think of all the potential people that could have been but didn’t get the chance. Look around. The mere fact that the universe is so large and yet we are able to be here like we are is amazing. We are unlike any other planet or species in the universe. Don’t look at it all and think we’re insignificant. We’re the equivalent of someone finding a diamond the size of a grain of sand on a beach the size of Mars. We are small, but we ARE significant.

Fear and despair are impediments.
Hope is a permission slip.

Today I give myself a permission slip to hope again.

And, if you need one--
as the designated hall monitor who loves to give out permission slips
(yes, you can go in that room;
yes, you can try that activity;
yes, yes, yes)--
if you're open to receiving it,
I've got one for you, too.

Halloween can never be a negative, it celebrates the imagination. Everyone is smiling, you see more of your community and neighbours than at any other time, and it makes people believe, young and old, that the world might be a kind, friendly, and helpful place on their journey.
Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
Your trust issues come from your hope being broken. You have learned it is safer not to hope. It is safer to beat vulnerability to the punch and strive to control your surroundings.

It is safer to treat hope as a wish. Hope then becomes something ethereal that you wish upon a star and then you continue on controlling your outcome. Or holding steadfast to hope–which really is your version of that “supposed-to” you want to see happen–as a symbol of your faith.
This is not hope. Hope involves more of you and your soul than wishing it up to God. (Look out vulnerability!) It is easier to believe you can “easy button” this to God but a life of hope involves your guttiness.

This life is not godliness but the process of becoming godly, not health but getting well, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not now what we shall be, but we are on the way. The process is not yet finished, but it is actively going on. This is not the goal, but it is the right road. At present, everything does not gleam and sparkle, but everything is being cleansed.
