A Bottle of Hope

What does it look like when we have hope?

We walk faster

We talk more

We involve others

We try new things

We wear different colors

And we insist on trying until we succeed

We sing to songs

We listen to others

It is not so important that we are “right”

We need less sleep

We don't over eat

We exercise

And we say good morning

We listen to “happy” music

We dance while we are walking

We see someone who is having a bad day and we say we are sorry

We help someone who needs it

And we accept help when we need it

Hope is the promise of our souls capacity

Hope is the reason we remember why we are alive

Hope is the person who reminds us

That Hope is always nearby

Hope reminds us that love is available

As hope is the purpose of our actions

Whatever it is that we hope for,

We are in hope when we feel promise

Promise of ourselves in our highest honor

Honor of actions and what they may mean

Hope is the rainbow after the rain

The cool drink on a hot day

The right words as you needed them

The smell of something baking while you are asleep

The bath where you actually sit in the water

The moment you walk by someone you haven't seen in years

The check that comes in the mail you didn't expect

The willingness to understand if something doesn't work out

Hope is the basis, the reason

That we have an incentive to grow on

To say I'll try

To change directions

And to know ourselves well enough to say no when we are stretching ourselves too thin

Hope is not being scared when the check is not in the mail

Someone we thought was right for us isn't and we understand why

And the love of self enough to know all of these things are simply a part of life

Hope is alive as we are alive

Hope is the possibilities of our hearts

Given a forum to test, push and pull the best of ourselves

And find the depth in which we can be
