True Hope




In all things
 it is better to hope than to despair. 
 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe  


True hope 
dwells on the possible, 
even when life seems to be a plot written by someone
 who wants to see 
how much adversity 
we can overcome.
 True hope
 responds to the real world,
 to real life;
 it is an active effort.
Walter Anderson

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
