Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
There are poisons that blind us and poisons that open our eyes. I don't need these eyes; they're too blind to see. But just because I am blind and unable to perceive beauty doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We often don't realize how much of our joy and interest in life comes through our eyes until we have to live without them. Part of that joy is that our eyes can choose where to look, but our minds can't always choose what to think or remember. Over time, our consciousness becomes steeped in the salt of our tears, and we slowly grow sad and lose hope. Perhaps one day, far from now, I will believe again, and when that day comes, I will write to you and see if you respond.

Psalm 23:6 Goodness and mercy follow him always—"all the days of his life"—the black days as well as the bright days, the days of fasting as well as the days of feasting, the dreary days of winter as well as the bright days of summer.

To any intelligence being, there is no emotion more important than hope. Individual or collectively, we must hope that future will be better than the past, that our offspring, and thers after them will be a bit closer to an ideal society, whever our perception of that might be.

Your scars don't define you. Rather you let them show your strength.

Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
And the fact that we took that leap, without knowing that everything would work out? Perhaps that act of faith, of hope, might carry us through tougher times, when we look back and marvel at it, and think, how little we knew, how easily we could have found a reason not to jump.
- Natasha Lunn

She’s in the rain
You wanna hurt yourself, I’ll stay with you
You wanna make yourself go through the pain
It’s better to be held than holding on

The certainty of a future rests in the fact that God created it, He already exists in it, and your role has been established in advance of your arrival there.

HOPE KILLS THE DEATH OF POSSIBILITIES.
- Sandra Shaw
Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
I can take everything that I am and bring the whole of it to bear on the darkness in your life. But it will do you no good. It will cast no light. It will lend no hope. And therefore, I don’t wish to gift you with the disappointment of myself. Rather, I would wish to point you away from myself and direct you to the God in Whom you will find everything that I could never be, for it was within Him that I became everything that I never was.
Topic: Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
Hope is leaven; it makes things rise without effort. I have moved forward at times without hope, when Wally was sick and dying, and there wasn't a thing in the world to do but ease his way. Without hope, you hunker down and do what needs to be done in this hour; you do not attend to next week. It is somehow like writing without any expectation or belief that one will ever be read-only worse, since even a Dickinson secreting her poems away in private folios sewn by hand expects, at some unknowable time, her treasure to be found, her words to be read. Hopelessness means you do the work at hand without looking for a future.

The Skeleton

Chattering finch and water-fly
Are not merrier than I;
Here among the flowers I lie
Laughing everlastingly.
No: I may not tell the best;
Surely, friends, I might have guessed
Death was but the good King's jest,
It was hid so carefully.
Topic: Death, Hope
NOT YET RATED ▼
I love to walk. Walking is a spiritual journey and a reflection of living. Each of us must determine which path to take and how far to walk; we must find our own way, what is right for one may not be for another. There is no single right way to deal with late stage cancer, to live life or approach death, or to walk an old mission trail.

For my part I have no joy in tears after dinnertime. There will always be a new dawn tomorrow. Yet I can have no objection to tears for any mortal who dies and goes to his destiny. And this is the only consolation we wretched mortals can give, to cut our hair and let the tears roll down our faces.
