Hope in an endlessly hopeless world
What more could a human wish for?
“Humanity is calling for a different way of being and a redefinition of power.
We await the emergence of heart-centered trailblazers, torch-bearers, and bridge walkers. And this may be where sensitive, intense, and gifted people come in.” -Imo Lo
Today I had a beautiful day at the market. I enjoyed running into many friends and folx I have not had the opportunity to deeply connect with in a while. So many moments shared are gentle bridges to ideas which will be added to my first book, and I feel joyous. Immensely thankful for the opportunity to be existing as a human, albeit a hard time to exist.
I think about how much time we, collectively as a society have had to coast and simmer on the beautiful simplicity of existence, and I wonder what the world will become as we see the times rapidly changing before our eyes.
I recall when life was simpler. I recall when the world was a bit more calmer. I rejoice in a peaceful, pre-smart phone childhood era. How I wish my child could have experienced the same tranquility.
Today was a good day. Tomorrow who knows what will come, but I am thankful to be here regardless. I will continually choose joy, for as long as I am able.
Some positives from today:
🌀 A friend dropped by some wonderful veggies for us from his families garden
🐚 I said hello to a hummingbird and the hummingbird in turn returned to say a close hello back
🦪 My first zuchinni has rapily evolved into my man zucchini
🦋 My friend at market said my smile makes her week
A way to be resilient in this world is to decide to be joyous and keep your hope close to your heart and, to share it with others. Finding joy in the small things is worth a lot these days. Many can not find hope at all.
Be the one who can find hope in an endlessly hopeless world.
