“We’ve got to rebuild human hearts – and persuade people that hope isn’t just possible but essential.”
~ Tony Snow
“I think it’s a mistake to ever look for hope outside of one’s self.”
~ Arthur Miller
“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.”
~ Anne Lamott
I know even in my small piece of the world; I am rebuilding a very changed life. An individual path is equally important and equally significant to rebuild the world. The attitude we bring to the challenges of rebuilding is critical to the outcomes we will live! Collectively we have lived a very public crisis and now we are called upon, individually, to solve many problems, find solutions, rebuild a path, change circumstance and create direction. There is a new stage to create a strategy for growth, efficiency, fairness and solidarity.
When the world stood still there was fear, anger and a feeling of loss. Now we must trust ourselves to draw on our own resilience and inspire the resilience of others. As the pieces of this rebuild emerge never forget that basic human kindness builds hope and in the simplest reality of that hope, builds the world around us.
“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.”
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
