Hope is the emotional elixir that keeps
us moving forward, refusing to be daunted
by even the most negative of circumstances,
a belief in a possibility, a strong expectation
that whatever impasse we now suffer is only
temporary: and in the end, all will result in
a favorable outcome.
In fact, the existential loss of courage
and hope actually defines what
the psychological state of depression reflects.
I believe the more intrinsic loss of faith
and meaning in our current existence,
suggests the necessity of frequent and
ongoing assessments of our level of hope,
ensuring we have not lost our edge.
EXPECTATION OF POSSIBILITY
Hope is what pulls us forward, onward,
with an expectation of possibility,
as challenges mount and obstacles
will surely impede, we proceed with
a sense of calm reserve, knowing our
uncanny vision will find its medium.
It is hope that enables our hearts and
minds to defy logic and reality, so sure
are we of a positive outcome, we in turn
accept no other alternative, and with the
strength of will, along with extraordinary
circumstances, coincidentally, succeed.
Perhaps when our hope is assessed
as full or less, it drives our attitude
to flourish or flounder, so potent is
this approach to living, that our very
well-being flutters in the balance,
and in turn, the creation of our magic
or misery hinges on its appearance.
