Hope is not a fuzzy, rainbow-covered alternative to the facts on the ground.

It is reflective of our present moment, not a future that should only live in our imaginations.

Hope is a collection of sparks that need oxygen.

It’s a vision of a path that begins in your immediate vicinity. Hope is the ability to clear the path as it gets harder to see the farther away you get from where you stand now.

Hope is not waiting for someone to save you. Hope is saving yourself.
