Hope

     Hope? Is that what the feeling is a winter solstice? Hope? Hope that daylight will return? No, I don't think so. We know that daylight begins its return then. It is more of a promise. Daylight is returning, that's fact. Not observable to casual observation, but just wait a few weeks and see.

   The L. K. Hanson piece below giving Ernst Bloch's take on the effect of hope on persons treats hope as an emotion. Hopelessness is a terrible thing. To have given up hope is tragic. Is a factor of our blessedness that we are people of hope. Hoping for things both large and small?

   For what do you hope? How does that hope shape you?
