Give us a song to guide our feet
as we’re marching to freedom land.

Strange hope
“Hope as I am using the term refers to commitment to the strangeness of the future — a future that is uncertain, fragile, carefully negotiated, and often wrenched, strained and disfigured through suffering, yet it is situated in the narrow space of transcendence, like the element of surprise in the narrative, the imagined possibility that brings resolution and redemption to the tragic and ironic, only to be upended and returned again to the struggle. ~ Walter Earl Fluker, The ground has shifted
Hope…how do you use the term?
Rest
“Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.” ~ Maya Angelou
How do you detach for awhile?
Prepare the way
“Preparation is as important as the journey itself” says author Joyce Rupp. When we venture into familiar territories, our preparation might be routine but heading into unknown spaces might make it much harder to know how to prepare.

Dreaming
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” ~ Harriet Tubman

Growing Edge
“The asking of new questions often leads us to the perilous, growing edge of our minds. That’s because all new and original thought begins with a question, which leads to an exploration.” ~ Dawna Markova, I will not die an unlived life
