Thinking about hope


“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don’t give up.”
-Anne Lamott

      Elizabeth, I'm familiar with "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life" and "Traveling Mercies." She has some newer work too.

    Thank you, Tracy. Yes, I cling to hope, sometimes by my fingernails, but I keep clinging.
