What is Hope?

I Hope You Never Lose Your Sense of Wonder...

What is hope?
To want?  To desire?
To expect that what's envisioned
may indeed happen?
YES to all of the above.
Is hope that gut feeling that it's 
worth holding out
and hanging on for just a little longer?
ABSOLUTELY.
Is hope the core of the human condition?
CERTAINLY.
Can you have hope without faith and humility and wonder?
THAT'S TOUGH.
Just the thought that there's something bigger, 
something truer, something totally surprising 
out there waiting for us is...
priceless.




Hope takes never ceasing 
to be amazed...

Wearing 
your soul on your sleeve...

Holding
your breath, waiting to hear 
"I love you, too..."

Believing
that tomorrow could be better than today...
that you'll get a second chance...
that you'll make a difference...
that you matter.
