we put our hearts to the sky like butterflies soaring hope
we are still those same butterflies
perhaps needing cocoons for a moment
until we find our flight again
grateful for every beautiful soul and friend finding here
may peace be within, with and find you, always

“It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose.
“The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.
“Facing it, always facing it, that’s the way to get through. Face it.

W/the creative power of #hope
we express our longing for peace
& prepare our hearts to be transformed"

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, and it is the Hope candle today. In the reading from Romans today: "Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light". Let us each wake with hope and bring light into the world as often as we can.
