The Purple Hermit 
Blessing of Hope
by Jan Richardson
So may we know
the hope
that is not just
for someday
but for this day –
here, now,
in this moment
that opens to us:
Hope not made
of wishes
but of substance;
Hope made of sinew
and muscle
and bone,
Hope that has breath
and a beating heart,
Hope that will not
keep quiet
and be polite,
Hope that knows
how to holler
when it is called for,
Hope that knows
how to sing
when there seems
little cause
Hope that raises us
from the dead –
Not someday
but this day,
every day,
again and
again and
again.
Or “Hope is a thing with feathers” Emily Dickenson
“Hope is a dangerous thing” Red in the Shawshank Redemption film

Perhaps hope is like religion. It’s not real but we can’t manage without.
