HOPE
An effective antidote for fear.
‘A call for action’ becoming
expectation.
Believing you will be what you
want to be.
What ‘propels’ us from
imagining to fruition.
What binds us to the Infinite:
Believing what can be.
While en route the constant
application of ‘psychic grease’.
Sustaining the myth that
everything you want to do is possible.
Either fanciful reflections on
possibilities or conviction of purpose.
Effectively banishing
indifference with a commitment to optimism.
An inner peace and security
that is sustained by your confidence in Love.
- Perhaps life without
hope is a life not worth living.
- Perhaps we are all
striving for Perfection which reveals Itself to us daily.
- Perhaps ‘what can be’
will always be a ‘reality’ whether it is achieved or not.
- Perhaps we know we can
always improve; perhaps our life is always about progress.
- Perhaps all ‘true
artists’ reside in an impregnable bubble of self-confidence
fortified by peeks into the Eternal.
- Perhaps you risk living
a life bereft of purpose if you obfuscate your true nature:
A spiritual being growing by loving.
- Perhaps prattling on
with others gives us solace, ‘we are not alone’; perhaps
‘linked with others’ we are coerced into seeking harmony.
- Perhaps you set your
sight on the rainbow entranced by its radiant beauty;
perhaps knowing you will never ‘find its source’ does not
deter you from trying.
- Perhaps oblivion is a
spectre that haunts our every quest; perhaps without
conviction that achievements ‘matter’ we are mere phantoms
forlorn in the face of doom.
- Perhaps you ‘know’ you
are more than what circumstance dictates you are; perhaps
‘striving’ is always preferable to complacency, stagnant
self-absorption and self-pity.
