A Poem about "Hope"

The news from around the world are crushing... Hold on to what is still good…

Look for miracles in unexpected places.

Love the fragile beauty of humanity.

Keep your heart kind.

Find magic in the mundane.

Embrace the depth of the unknown.

Tend to tenderness.

Soak up the osmotic warmth of a genuine hug.

Turn strangers into friends in a fleeting moment of soul recognition.

Remain soft and sensitive in a world that calls for swords.

And most importantly love beyond limits, care beyond reason and hope beyond hopelessness.
