I Live in Hope

The violence of this week has been unsettling and demoralizing.  Just when I feel our nation may be able to make progress, we seem to take violent steps backward.  I’m at a loss.  


My world view has always been to live in hope.  I know of no other way forward.  But a week like this one can make it hard to find that hope.


For me, nature’s unrestrained beauty is restorative.    So I visit familiar trails and search for hope, fragile and weary though it is.


If I look long enough, it is there.  And so I live in hope.
