It means having the courage to imagine, make mistakes, trust, listen, learn, think, and rethink; to resist punditry, pedestals, and perfection; to reject cynicism and embrace critical analysis; to plot; to hold on; to care and commune; to show up; to love.

A Mother Steeled by Stewart Stafford

A haunted mother in despair's glade,
That echoed with her feral screams,
Sifting through tiny bones for reasons,
Catharsis an absent but invited guest.

Healed knees, once bloody, kneel,
Cobwebs wiped, storm damage fixed,
Bittersweet, her baby has taken wing,
His bruises, all of him, now flown above.

Daybreak's star field on the final vigil,
Dropping the self-flagellation whip,
Fragment memories of her infant taken,
Striding forth, her scars a living map.

It is when my dreams hang by a thread that I come to understand that a dream is never sustained by a thread. Rather, a dream is sustained by the knowledge that a dream is its own thread.

Life carried on. Much as it always had.
In this harsh and rugged place, where all could seem hopeless, but where sometimes, inexplicably… new hopes were forged.
In blood and fire and sand.
And sky.

Depression is a veil that dims not only our eyes but our spirit, making it hard to recall the beauty we once knew. Yet there is a grace that abides within us, patiently waiting until we find ourselves ready to breathe it in. When all else feels lost, may we trust in the quiet strength of this presence that neither leaves nor fails us.

If humanity has lost its way now, this doesn't mean the story is over. On the contrary, it is time for enlightenment, where we can help one another write a new story.

Hope is never absent. What’s absent is our faith in a reality that’s never absent.

Hope does not rest on the assumption that everything is going to work out or be okay in the end, nor is it based on the presumption that the outcome in any series of events is going to be thus and so. I agree with Berry, who says, 'Hope lives in the means, not the ends.' A hopeful life often moves in the dark because nobody has a clear grasp of how events will unfold or what effects any particular action will have. This is why hope is a humble posture.

In the intricate dance of life, we sometimes misinterpret the quiet souls among us, mistaking their stillness for indifference. Yet beneath that tranquil exterior often resides a profound sadness, echoing the unseen battles they face daily. If only we could look deeper, we might discover the rich tapestry of emotions woven into their being—a silent testament to their resilience and vulnerability.

There is nothing beyond the Absolute. There can be no purpose, meaning, or hope if there is nothing beyond it. Purpose, meaning, and hope can only exist in relativity. Without relativity, these terms or states have no meaning. Relationships create purpose, meaning, and hope. Whenever or wherever there is a relationship, it means there is something beyond, something more significant to hope for, something to pursue and build meaning and hope through that pursuit.
