Bright, Fresh Hope
“What we must do,
I suppose,
is to hope the world
keeps its balance;
what we are to do, however,
with our hearts
waiting and watching—truly
I do not know.”— Mary Oliver
“Thick is the darkness–
Sunward, O, sunward!
Rough is the highway–
Onward, still onward!
Dawn harbors surely
East of the shadows.
Facing us somewhere
Spread the sweet meadows.
Upward and forward!
Time will restore us:
Light is above us,
Rest is before us.”
― William Ernest Henley
Time, light, rest.
Onward, forward, upward.
Hope never fails.
Onward, still onward!
And in the struggle.
Entertaining joy, beauty, delight.
Bright, fresh hope.
“Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.”― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
