Monday WRites 229



HOPE IN TODAY
When one of those little greetings 'Have a nice day' gets to its target, hope is spread, received accepted realized. Someone's life is made better, someone's day is given brightness. Hope is an energy serum, a feel good drug, a must share potion.

Doesn't help to keep it. It must be shared, it must spread like a wildfire. It must burn into our futures. Not a backward moving mobile, hope shapes tomorrow with first thoughts of goodness. Maya Angelou in her reflection on Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, at the Lincoln Memorial, wrote "The Rock cries out to us today, You may stand upon me, But do not hide your face"

Humankind thrives on its forecast. Hope is very ordinary, not at all presumptuous and thrives on the grandeur of simplicity.' Good Morning' - purposeful, simple, beneficial. There is hope at work. Its a starter, the wheels of well being is set in motion. That's hope at its best.

    The word “hope” and Maya Angelou’s words ... and your words too ... are perfect for this day honoring Dr King. Thank you. I hope you “have a nice day” tomorrow.

    Gillena - I can't tell you how much your words mean to me. This is what I love so much about blogging - we may be on different sides of the world, but we have so much in common, striving for the common good and inspiring each other to hope. "Humankind thrives on its forecast." What a turn of phrase. And "Good morning" as purposeful, simple, beneficial. How right you are! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday, and inspiring us all!
