  Hope is fragile and needs to be tended and renewed. Patric Shade   We should expect hope's reciprocity as a natural flowering of the life of hope. Helping others and nurturing hope is expressive of hopefulness itself. It is an extension of the hopeful self to reach out to others, promoting the connection of agency and the enrichment of horizons of meaning. Hope's reciprocity grows out of the very social nature of hope; we thus frequently see it live in family relations, in intimacy, in love. And so hope spreads. This spreading should not surprise us; like love, it is freely given, fostered, and nurtured.  Patric Shade Explore This Website

All hope is prayer;  who calls it hope no more, Sends prayer footsore forth over  weary wastes, While he who calls it prayer,  gives wings to hope. Ella Wilcox For hope will cull a withered flower And tune a harp with a broken string; And hope will shed a glimmering ray Of light on pleasure's ruined shrine. For mouldering columns still look gay When summer sunbeams o'er them shine. Rosa V Jerffey   Explore This Website

One of the penalties of being a human being is other human beings. Christopher Morley For He, who gave this vast machine to roll, Breathed Life in then, in us a Reasoning Soul; That kindred feelings might our state improve, And mutual wants conduct to mutual love.

God, grant me Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. by Reinhold Niebuhr Explore This Website

 It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.     Confucius The real issue is not talent as an independent element, but talent in relationship to will, desire, and persistence. Talent without these things vanishes and even modest talent with those characteristics grows. Milton Glaser Explore This Website
