Day 3241 October 1, 2024

Prompt: Hope
“Hope is a tease, designed to prevent us accepting reality.”
Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey
In what ways do you think hope can or cannot help us to accept reality? Or is hope a totally empty thing, used only to dull the pain?



Maggie saw hope differently than I do.

Hope is more than a carrot on a stick to distract you from reality. Hope transcends earthly worries because it is kicked in the ass by faith. Hope shifts to affirmative KNOWING!

Thoughts are powerful and we are responsible for them. Thoughts unleased can be a destructive storm. But, if even a small flicker of “hope” dulled pain for a micro-nano second, what’s wrong with that? That moment sparks the knowing, never to be undone.
