Hope

HOPE Oh, I have landed myself in a bad way It is a very very dark place I am stuck. Alas, a friend lets me now that she has been here as well. She describes exactly how I am feeling, so uncomfortable so very dark. Praise the Universe, she gets me!!! Will my eyes adjust? Am I forever lost, drudging tripping in the darkness? She asks, "can you see any light at all?" W A I T my friend, I see a tiny hole in the darkness letting a little light into my own dark doings…. My friend exclaims excitedly, "YES!" "That light for you represents HOPE!" I contort my brain to keep my eyes on this light, This HOPE. My friend is joy-jumping for me, cause in this light, this HOPE, is my escape she tells me. It is showing me there is an end to my turmoil of DARKNESS and the hole WILL grow bigger and the light will shine brighter. She ever-so-sweetly reminds me that I have put myself in this cavern as she herself has done before. “Stay in the solution of positive action, and little by little, with HOPE and blessing you will awake each day to a new chance to keep fixing what You have broken”, says SHE. I text my friend a tiny but real true smile. I can get by with a ‘lil help from a real friend. YES THERE IS HOPE FOR CRYSTAL!!! Jill Spagnola
