I was talking with my friend tonight.
she told me that hope is a dangerous thing. It opens you up to all sorts of possible endings. it catches hold of you...and seeps deep into your being. it takes up residence in the back of your mind. and you just can't shake it.
i know.
that's what i told her.
i know how dangerous hope is.
i also know how beautiful and powerful and strong hope is.
i am a recipient and bearer of hope.
for better or for worse, i just can't shake it.

The Mars Hill quote about joy comes to my mind too...maybe hope is like joy in how it resides in us. Dropping deep into our souls like an anchor and holding. "on the surface, waves crash and roll. We are not steady but we are held."
