As Emily Dickinson once said - hope is the thing with feathers. A strong-willed bird that lives inside every one of us. It doesn’t cease its song no matter gales or storms, good times or bad. Without a thread of hope, everything would be lost, as hope is the foundation of the human condition. What would happen to us without it? While sure as the day, the world is full of peril, the light will always find its way through the cracks!
