I Remain an Optimist...

A short thought for a Friday night

This evening I bear witness to the fear, the frustration, and the uncertainty.

I see all that is wrong, that is dark, and that is unnerving.

But I’m reminded of the many turbulent waters of the past. Of how we emerged. Of what we were able to conquer.

I think of the journeys taken and the ones that lie before us.

I honor all the helpers, those who toil for what is good, what is just, and what is hopeful.

I remain an optimist, by nature and by experience.

Courage.

Steady.
