Hope is an
ever opening door.
Hope--a
tool for living, varies according to different situations.
My hope:
we all would know God, and no one ever dies alone. Hope for a miracle.
Knowing the sun will rise and I will be loved forever.
Hope is
kindness. Hope is listening. Pieces of hope: a smile, a hug, someone
listening , actively! |
| The knowingness that the frozen river will
begin to thaw, the ice will crack and the water will be able to move
once more. Sunrise, sunset, the sea, prayer, support... Hope is
believing that someday you will again notice the warmth of the sun, a
gentle breeze, sand between your toes, and the smell of the ocean. A
candle in a darkened room...a single ray of sunshine streaming through
the clouds. A flickering flame on a candle; life and love; the miracle
of love. A crocus coming through the snow in early spring. White
doves.
Hope: watching a single leaf stay on a tree throughout an entire New
England winter. |
| A whole night’s sleep. |
| Hope: butterflies in my stomach. Hope is
sharing, caring, and understanding. Sunrise and new beginnings. Memories
to cherish forever. Clouds part just a little to show a glimpse of blue
sky or a ray of sun to show through. The wonder of each moment of a
plant--sprout-bud-flower-seed pod-brown leaves--each containing all the
others but whole as it is.
Image of hope: a rainbow of soft pastel light where there are no
boundaries. |
| Flowers that bloom all year long.
Unconditional love and understanding. Hope: Believing, peace,
trust. Hope is being in a very dark place and knowing that there is
light ahead. Hope is sunshine after rain. Springtime. Looking up at the
sky with a peaceful smile. Sunshine and a deep breath of fresh air on a
summer day. Hope is: the first star I see tonight, a hug, warm arms
reaching out to hold or be held.
Hope: Piece of mind and spirit fueled by peace. |
| Hope: loving, strong arms holding me up to the
healing light. I hope I will be able to manage gracefully. If my mind is
connected to God, if my soul is calm and my heart satisfied, then I have
hope; sharing with loved ones will enhance all that. Hope: looking
forward and planning for tomorrow, knowing that my garden will bloom
despite the mounds of snow. |
| Death loses its sting when there is assurance
of eternal life.
Pieces of hope: Promise of a new spring. transformation from the bud
to the flower, the egg to the bird, the seed to the grain, suffering to
healing, aloneness to connection, death to resurrection.
Hope is prayer answered with grace. |
| Hope is the feeling that no matter how you feel
now, things will get better. Peace--goal--prayer--wish--want--something
to look forward to.
Hope is believing there is an opportunity for meaning, for
connection, for joy in any situation. Hope: the sense of absolute
certainty and peace inside--when you just know that whatever comes, you
can accept and move forward. Knowing I can’t stop the waves but
wanting to learn to surf. |
| Hope: Belief that there will be more shedding
of trapped pain replaced by trust and love.
Hope: light, peace, calm. |
