A rainbow doesn’t show up when everything’s going right.

It shows up after the storm has done its worst.

The storm is not the end of your story.

It’s the setup for something you can’t see yet.

Each article Each screaming headline Or worse Nonchalant ones about Challanting things Chips a bit more bedrock off of my sturdy, steady base. Eroding slowly my certainty that we will endure, maintain, and overcome. And yet. As we have learned, Hope is not a delicate wish. Hope is not thoughts and prayers, Not without an accompanying action, at least. Hope is dirty And sweaty And bare knuck or gloved up with Elbows Up Hope shows up. Hope is a shovel and a rope. Hope is a brick. Hope is mortar and a trowel to build back the base of the thing when it is rent in pieces.

Hope is not a delicate wish. Hope is not thoughts and prayers, Not without an accompanying action, at least. Hope is dirty And sweaty And bare knuck or gloved up with Elbows Up Hope shows up. Hope is a shovel and a rope. Hope is a brick. Hope is mortar and a trowel to build back the base of the thing when it is rent in pieces. Hope is a poem. Bigger than the allotted space and unrepentant. Hope shows up. Show up with Hope.
