What keeps us alive, what allows us to endure?I think it is the hope of loving, or being loved.
We weep when light does not reach our hearts.
We wither like fields if someone close does not rain their kindness upon us.
Hope is not the closing of our eyes to the Difficulty, the Risk, Or the Failure.
It is a trust that - If I fail now -I shall not fail forever; And If I am hurt, I shall be healed.
It is a trust that Life is good, Love is powerful, and the future is full of Premise.
"May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.. "
With Love,
Amma-Naana
