Hope springing eternal
It’s more than wishful thinking
When I think of all the near death experiences I’ve been spared in my life. I know there are Angels looking out for me. It keeps me humble and appreciative, like I have to do my best in life to deserve them. As if I made some kind of bargain before I came here. I just hope I figure out what it is before I return, unaccomplished.
I'm not a pray-er per say. I do hope though, I hope and pray man finds the right course before humanity becomes extinct. Like the animals left in it's keep. I heard words growing up either from a Bible quote or someone saying it that “Man shall not destroy himself.” Although I'm beginning to doubt it. I also heard “Mutate or Die.” Which I firmly believe. And this gem to be remembered always. “The Kingdom of God is within.”
Then there is the wisdom printed on bathroom stalls. i.e. “Look back not in anger or ahead in fear, but around in awareness.” Sounds like something Bobby Kennedy might have said.
These wise words come from some source, sent out as markers, guideposts to help us navigate this tumultuous life. The one we've all been cast here to play in without a script or director. Some become stars others just remain bit players.

A Poem of Hope
Ah...Hope the slippery slope
The gateway that leads to
anywhere but there
Always hovering just out of reach
Beyond what we know yet comfortably preach
where do we go when we hope
Conjuring possibilities, solving the crisis
Seeking a path deciding which fork
Where is that place we call hope?
The heart?
The head?
Our Source?
