HOPE RELATED QUOTES…

“Grief requires us to know the time we’re in. The great enemy of grief is hope. Hope is the four-letter word for people who are unwilling to know things for what they are. Our time requires us to be hope-free. To burn through the false choice of being hopeful or hopeless. They are two sides of the same con job. Grief is required to proceed.” ~ Stephen Jenkinson

"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. It is the ability to work for something because it is good, not because it stands a chance to succeed.” ~ Vaclav Havel, author, poet, and former president of the Czech Republic

“Do not lose heart; we were made for these times.” ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estés

“The depth of your grief is the measure of your love.” ~ Joanna Macy

“Inattention to the world’s ecological state is well advised. Because attention to it mitigates against your happiness, contentment, and your sense of well-being. Having a conscience now is a grief-soaked proposition. … “If you awaken in our time, you awaken with a sob.” ~ Stephen Jenkinson
