In the classic movie about love and friendship - The Big Chill - A pastor asks the question: "Where did Alex's hope go?"
Hope is always around
In the rising of the sun each day
In the rippling water of a gentle brook
In every flower that blooms
In the leaves and branches
that dance with the breeze
In the smells of the damp earth
in a forest of trees
In the smiles and laughter
of children playing
In the tears of joy
In the pain of loss
In the warm hugs from family and friends
In the quiet and solace of meditation
In the setting sun
In the moon and all its shapes
and in the millions of stars in the night sky
HOPE is everywhere!
(Don S Hunter 2023)
