Hope: Rage’s Antidote 

Rage’s hopelessness

It’s the mirror of despair 

Hope: the antidote

Hope requires vision, and the belief that humanity can work together. 

Cling to Hope

Fear is powerful 

Yet only hope can transform 

Cling strongly to that 

It’s hard, at times, to fnd the light in the dark. Seek it out, nurture it. It is there, and will grow stronger. 

Despair Lies

Audacity


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

Hope’s Inspiration

As I look forwards

Inspired for the future 

I’m embracing hope

The echoes of human hope

lingering through the silence
harmonies of life

A Haiku About Self-Confidence

For many people
Confidence is so fragile
Damaging our hope
I hope your Wednesday brings you joy, and realization of your uniquely wonderful gifts. 

The Hope In Springtime 

Spring’s breeze carries hope 

Sometimes escaping our gaze 

Then, abruptly, here 

Thoughts on Effectiveness and Hope 

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. 

A digitized globe 

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
