Hope
Is it naïve to be hopeful about the future? No. It is wise, necessary and effective. Hope is not blind optimism or naïve fantasy. Hope is an action verb - a way of seeing and being and having an impact in the world. I am neither optimistic nor pessimistic, I am hopeful. I choose hope because it is grounded in the possibility for change. Hope knows that people are resilient and resourceful. Hope taps into work on solutions. Hope understands tipping points. Hope joins progressive social movements. Hope lights a candle in the darkness. Hope is infectious. Hope inspires.
