Fertilizer

Sooner or later hope needs to grow a pair of wings fly into action- turn into something substantial or like the Dodo bird it will become extinct. At the same time hope needs to grow a pair of balls in the face of a hurricane of slurs and lies...stand tall. Sometimes when the balls are heavier than the wings hope becomes chained to rage and can never rise above the fire no matter the amount of verbal fertilizer you sprinkle over it.

What a powerful description of hope giving way to despair, Anthony. The last line is stunning and oh-so-true. We may try, but our words cannot hide profound sadness. Beautifully written! Hugs, Carolyn
