RE: Hope Is the Better Inheritance (An Original Poem)

I read your poem and felt it like the end of a dystopian story or the beginning of a utopian story. In both versions, hope comes to save the world. Only hope is capable of turning the world into a luminous womb, a good land, like the small hut that serves to shelter us when it rains. There are fierce days, like the ones we live, relentless, in which we must take hope and carry it, like someone carries a lamp, and illuminate the darkest places. A nice Saturday, my friend. Hugs

I've been thinking a lot about the book The Fourth Turning, how extremely dark the world seems right now, and how so many towns and cities in America are in various stages of decay/decline. Then I thought about how easily it could all be turned around with just one spark, a simple change in attitude. How we maintain our physical surroundings is much more than our financial standings, it's a reflection of our inner psychological states. Things like pride, hope, and mutual respect don't cost us anything but seem to be in such short supply these days. These are the things that it takes to make a real community and heal it from the inside out. Thank you Nancy! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
