Do not weep, Do not cry, shed no tears.....
A feeling of trust, an expectation of something unexplainable, an optimism, a hidden but most potent, strongest and brightest part of life is hope. A hope can make you live longer than any protein or fiber on earth, and its a distinction between a survivor and a victim. Browning, Shelley, Shah Bhitaii, Bulleh Shah all have sung songs of hope, love and their poetry depicts the characters who never despair no matter what the outcome.
Free Spirit Painting by Lena Sotskova
Those who do not despair are the survivors, and those who loose hope are the victims.
"Don't cry, don't weep and fret; shed no tears of dismay; Whatever days appear, O let them pass away,-
For after sorrow, joy O Marui, comes to stay;
Desert maid know, your chains by destiny's own sway; Are moved, and now you may throw them into the fire.”Bhitaii (translated by Elsa Kazi).
The moment, the goal becomes more distant, hope gives you wings, and takes you closer to the goal. It is a seed that gives life to the cause even in a barren soul.
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at allEmily Dickinson
