Wow almost to the year since I have been here. Saturday, August 11, 2012

So i will start out this next year on a positive:)

 

Hope not denial.

 

True hope is active rather than passive.

 

It (hope) offers a real alternative to surrender borne of pain, suffering, or loss. It does not derive from blind optimism or thwarted desire, or deluded fantasy. Rather it arises from the most basic longing of humanity - among them our needs for mastery and protection , for social and cultural attachments for the love and care required to ...

achieve our potential as human beings.
It derives from our capacity to envision the future and create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones.
When blended into

"FULL HOPE"
these underlying motives result in the life long quest for love mastery and future well being.

In this sense ; Hope represents

The most profound expression of the "roots and wings" of the soul.
