Rage’s hopelessness
It’s the mirror of despair
Hope: the antidote
Hope requires vision, and the belief that humanity can work together.

It’s audacious
Hubristic, really
To think these words
A silly spackle of thought
Might, maybe, change things
Dampen a bit of rage
Create a little love
Maybe, just maybe,
My audacity might
Bear fruit
Hope echoes
Within
I’ve long been a devote of Steven Covey. To this day, I try to keep his principles in mind.
One of the central elements is the importance: urgency grid.
The upper right grid is the key place: but urgent and important. Urgent and important grab priority, followed by urgent and not important. Not important and not urgent tend to grab our time, too. The realm of time wasting.
Many people cycle between the urgents and time wasting. The not urgent important gets neglected.
That’s the realm of Hope. This painful cycle minimizes hope; it doesn’t get fed.
No wonder we swirl about in anger so much. Why we focus on win-lose, why we’re so afraid.
We never feed hope.
It delights me so
Drifting across the earth
Dropping a word here
Another there
One in France
The next Africa
Seconds pass
Seeds planted
Hope gently
Kindled
