Politics. Shootings. Anger. Judgement. Division. Loss of compassion. Loss of hope. A disturbance in the spirit of humanity. Don't let those be the clouds that shadow the light in humans. The dark parts only allow the rays of light to shine more fiercely. The seed that catches those rays will grow to towering heights. To places where perhaps even the clouds can't reach it. Then, it becomes the the stuff of poems and dreams. Inspiring hearts. Hope is what shines brightest in the shadows. It is the tie that binds. I am idealistic, but I see that light in the majority of those around us. Sometimes, they just don't see it in themselves. At times I may have to hold on real tight, but I will never give up on humans. Ever. We need to nurture and kindle a tiny spark, if we ever intend to warm our spirits with the fire it promises.
