hope

does it matter if a moment evaporates before its conception, if an idea vanishes before the lightbulb goes off? maybe the careless slaughtering of the hope for its feeble existence constitutes enough of a death--even if it is not worthy of molding yourself to the corner of your room, hiding under blankets, and staring at the white walls until they glow warm with familiarity--enough of a death to warrant a question, a sigh, and a miniscule hardening of the heart.

hope is what gives someone the strength, desire and motivation to go back to school after an unplanned and arduously long hiatus.

hope is what gets someone back to within an inch of the finish line...in one of the toughest races of their lives.

hope is the VERY BEST friend of someone who decides to take the chance of a lifetime to go to europe and lay it all on the line for an opportunity at one of the most profound and career influencing moments of her life, all the while as common sense is screaming otherwise. Damn the torpedoes Clare, full speed ahead!

Hope is priceless. Mr. Frost would agree as he walks along the road less traveled.
