HOPE

"The birds of hope are everywhere, listen to them sing."
~ Terri Guillemets ~
 
"Hope is patience with the lamp lit."
~Tertullian~
 
My favorite acronym for hope is Hearing Other People's Experience. There is something so comforting in knowing that others have been through what we're going through and that they have made it to the other side. They shine the light on our path and inspire in us the courage we need to keep on. And we share our experience with others in the same way.
     At any given point we are both a beacon and a darkness. We are old hands at all we've been through and greenhorns at all that we face in life that is new. Sharing our journey with others both ways keeps the energy of hope flowing.

We share the road of life. I learn from those who have gone before me, and serve as a guide for those who are coming along behind.
