Thank you for reminding me of what I always thought of "Hope ".

What a beautiful sentiment!

In times of sadness, despair from my tiny corner of the world at the "state of things", I also turn to art. For me, it's music. Lately, I've had Jennifer Nettles and Brandi Carlile's cover of "It All Fades Away" on repeat.

Looking forward to reading more of the comments below.

Thank you. I've read this poem many times, but reading it today was different-I feel it woke up something in my soul..the little thing with feathers I suppose. You're never too old to learn something new, but maybe you need a bit of age to understand some things. Thanks again Dan and Steady team for a reminder that hope is inside of us.

Thank you for this today - potential climate change impact on my grandchildren is a heavy weight. Emily Dickinson - so wonderful - and the reason my only daughter is named Emily.

The best things are often free: Hope, A Smile, A Kind Word, A Hug, A Moment Taken to Listen to Someone.

My late mother always said, "Hope is believing better is just a step around the corner".
