"Imagination belongs to hope. It’s the creative dance of possibility."
- Sharon Weil
"Hope is a helium balloon. It is a wish lantern set out into the dark sky of night."
"Hope dreams into being what is possible but not yet formed."
"If I’m going to have hope, I’m going to have to learn to endure disappointment."
"A wish is a single unit of hope. It’s a single request for something I dearly desire."
"Hope requires waiting. Waiting requires patience."
"Don't be afraid that things are changing, because indeed they always are."
"If we can’t feel into the heart of grief, we can’t truly move on to experience hope and joy. We can’t be present to what is now, and what is next, because we are bound by the loss and sorrow that hold..."
"Without hope, I wouldn’t even try. Hope lifts me to consider new possibilities so I can stay the course of my desire, no matter what."
"We cannot protect ourselves from disappointment and still live a fully engaged life."
