Hope has work for us to do.

It asks us to resist going numb

when the world within us or beyond us

is falling apart.

In the height of despair,

in the deepest darkness,

hope calls us to open our hearts,

our eyes,

our hands,

that we might engage the world

when it breaks our hearts.

Hope goes with us, step by step,

providing the sustenance we most need.
