And, on the heels of Mom coming home from the hospital
after having quite a traumatic experience. Nothing REALLY bad just that she hated being in the hospital. Who doesn't?
Hope
Knows no fear.
Hope dares to blossom
Even inside the abysmal abyss.
Hope secretly feeds
And strengthens
Promise.
Hope passes beyond,
Far beyond
The abyss of despair.
Let us not underestimate the power of hope.
No matter how fleeting its life,
It offers to us the most convincing
And fulfilling power.
Yesterday's failures
Must be forgotten.
Tomorrow's new hope
And new fulfilment
Must be cherished.
Hope is not a momentary flicker.
Hope is Eternity's slow, steady,
Illumining and fulfilling height.
Hope is sweet.
Hope is illumining.
Hope is fulfilling.
Hope can be everlasting.
Therefore, do not give up hope
Even in the sunset of your life.
By Sri Chinmoy (August 27, 1931 – October 11, 2007) an Indian spiritual teacher, poet, artist and athlete.
