Wednesday of Hope – A Way of Living
Hope is not just a feeling. Hope is a way of acting and a way of living.
– Joanna Macy
Wednesday of Hope – Hope is with You
Hope
Hope is with you when you believe
The earth is not a dream but living flesh,
That sight, touch, and hearing do not lie,
That all things you have ever seen here
Are like a garden looked at from a gate.You cannot enter.
But you’re sure it’s there.
Could we but look more clearly and wisely
We might discover somewhere in the garden
A strange new flower and an unnamed star.Some people say we should not trust our eyes,
That there is nothing, just a seeming,
These are the ones who have no hope.
They think that the moment we turn away,
The world, behind our backs, ceases to exist,
As if snatched up by the hands of thieves.– Czeslaw Milosz
Wednesday of Hope – for the Next Generation

Wednesday of Hope – Hope Is the Way

Everything Is a Miracle
