What is hope?
An intangible thing that all humanity grasps for.
Sometimes I imagine I can feel it’s edges like a feather soft thing, just out of reach.
But is it really out of reach? Is hope something to be grasped?
No.
Hope is experienced, not held. Hope is found but not possessed.
It lives in places where logic alone dares not live.
Perspective changes things. It doesn’t change truth, but can give us a wider view of what is true.
Toes can never me mountains, but they can show is a likened beauty, and defy the shoes they are so often crammed into, and hold up the weight of our lives, like the deepest roots of the earth.
As does every shoulder bent in strain, stooped in pain, and prostrate in prayer.

Great post Mary G!
Some toes are nice. Some not so nice… just like mountains 🤣
🤣 Man toes are sketchy for sure. But still interesting.
And y’all’s ain’t.. 😏
I will exercise my right not to comment. 😜
Lol!!!! 👍
Would you be interested in writing a piece for my poetry blog?
Depending on what your looking for I can always give it a try. What were you thinking of?
Anything that comes to your mind. Pray about it!
Not that my poetry blog has tons of followers but I think it’s a nice gesture for those I find to be awesome writers.
It is! Thank you. ❤ Give me a week okay. My mind and heart move slow right now.
You got all the time in the world. I still struggle with poetry blogs. Yes, I’ve contemplated deleting it. But, I just wanted to acknowledge writers I really admire.
Don’t delete it. It’s not somthing you need to post on every day. Just let it come to you. ❤
It’s just a lot of things. It’s my outlet for things other than biblical stuff. But it exposes my non-biblical side. If that makes sense.
Yes it dose.
Sorry to be yacky I know you enjoy limited socialness lol
No it’s okay. Just never known when I will get busy.
