“Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out” Vaclav Havel
When I received the prompt for Mamakat’s Writers Workshop, I was pleased to read one on Hope. Given the global turmoil, political upheavals and ongoing battles around the world, we could all use some Hope in our lives. Actually, without hope we are in deep trouble for it keeps us believing that all things come to those who trust and believe in positive outcomes. Don't forget today is Earth Hour Day and it starts at 8:30pm worldwide.
For this assignment, I have written both a short poem and ten things I see that remind me of hope. Hope is a magical word because it reminds us of the possibility of change in expected outcomes. Sometimes, when we try new things or go to a new place, we hope that all will turn out well. We hope that people will welcome us and treat us with love and respect, and we even hope for a decent meal. And when it works out, we are happy...
Since life is full of unexpected events; surprises both pleasant and otherwise, a hopeful heart is a good thing to have. Our ego tells us we decide, we create, we manifest, and that is true up to a point and then our trust, faith and hope must kick in to accomplish the rest. My hope is that we maintain a spirit of humility and hopefulness in all things... and that we remain open to receive the grace of hope when it shows up.
The Prompt:
2.) April is national poetry month… Write a poem about hope.
When I think of Hope, I see ten things that affirm my trust in a higher power;
✿♡✿A Welcoming Sunrise.
✿♡✿A Stunning Sunset.
✿♡✿A Bird’s Nest.
✿♡✿Clear Clean Water.
✿♡✿The Warmth of Smiling Strangers. More on the Ten Things I see and the Poem "Guided by Hope" Below...
