Things may look bleak but I believe that there's always hope and there always will be hope.

I well and truly agree, and while I'm still on a fact finding mission I'm not scared either. What will be, will be, but it is nice to have something positive to look to to lift the mood.

Many thanks for this!!

Winehippy,

I too have great hope and like your post. I also like the lyrics of one of my favorite Dylan songs.

And too conjuredup, I also liked your mass creation statement, right on.

Happy tears.

Hi WineHippie,

That was a heart warming video and appreciate your post. My eyes swelled up around the two minute mark as well. You made my day. Thank you.

Thanks for the thread WH. Great idea.

The horse farm looks awesome. I've got a real soft spot for animals too.

I thought for awhile about how I might define what I feel "hope" is to me, but the language or my vocabulary is insufficient. It's an intangible feeling that just is. We forget it sometimes, but it never goes away.

Music really helps me remember. This melody always reminds me of hope. No words, all instrumental. It's a beautiful piece of music.

To my friend vinigirl,
I wished for something-
with great expectation and fulfillment.
I looked forward with a sure confidence-
that I would someday find it?
Little knowing then-
when the time came for me to try and possess it-
always- it seemed just out of reach of my grasp.
Tears and sadness fell upon me -like a lost child.
I felt alone and abandomed in a dark place.
Then -suddenly a hand touched mine,
drawing and pulling me near.
Smiling at me- like a new sun dawning;
I finally realized-
it had always been within my reach.
Lovingly- gazing back at me-
from in -the eyes of a fellow human being
I had found it___HOPE!

Yikes, as of 7:34 GMT the top five threads in "off topic" go:

1.Obama
2.Obama
3.Obama
4.Obama

5.~*~hope~*~

Ironically enough none of those threads seem to offer much hope.(disclaimer!: I support niether corporate candidate)

I had to post now, if only to bring the real hope thread back to the forefront.

Thanks again WH for your inspirational posts, but I must pose a question concerning mes. # 6.

(I know this is not your statement but I'll ask your opinion anyway).
Can prevention not be based upon clear legitimate assesment of a problem?
Fear based prevention I agree will likely be unproductive, but to throw one's fate to the universe could be (temporarily anyway) very painful.

This "Ark" business seems a bit in the wrong direction imo.
I am really more preparing my mind for what may be a storm before the calm.

I know I am strong and that there is nothing that I truly own that can be taken from me, but I'll be ready to make some tough decisions if the hammer drops beacuse I've considered the many scenarios that may occur w/ great detail. Many of them imo are pure bollocks, but there are indeed a number of alarming scenarios that are already under way that are a very real threat to humanity.

I feel like people are wrapping these possible "mass events" too closely together.
A nuclear detonation and acsecion of course do go hand in hand, yet it seems like some members at PA have a deathwish of sorts and welcome the violent breakdown of society, because they think that will usher in some sort of ascencion process. (not refering to anyone specifically here)
My view is that I have no idea if anything massive will happen in the years btw now an the end of 2012, but from the few short years of research I've done concerning the matter, I feel I can safely say that the power elite certainly believe that a massive earth changing event, that is out of thier control is coming, and soon. As a response they've designed (long ago) a collapse of society in order to bankrupt the masses financially and more importantly spiritually. As a result (as they see it) of their actions they seem to believe that they will be able to better survive the uncertain event and emerge alone (or at leats still on top) on the other side so to speak.

I feel like simply blaming "fear" is over emphasized here, as it is merely the subjective response to foreign information. It's what we do next that really matters.

We could say that makes me fearful so:

1. I'm going to disregard it
or 2. I'm going to investigate it

All I'm saying essentially is that (imo) more than likely something very bad will preceed something very good.

No matter how dark it gets though, I'll always be prepared to shine.

I wonder why she moved from AZ to MT?, more room, or was AZ too hot? just wondered, and maybe it will move the thread up higher by asking!
