Hope for 2010

Henri J.M. Nouwen is one of my favorite authors.

A poem from his book With Open Hands.

Hope means to keep living

Amid desperation

And to keep humming in the darkness.

Hope is knowing that there is love,

It is trust in tomorrow

It is falling asleep

And awaking again when the sun rises.

In the midst of a gale at sea,

It is to discover land.

In the eyes of another

It is to see that you are understood…

As long as there is hope

There will also be prayer…

And you will be held

In God’s hands.

Henri J. M. Nouwen

Happy New Year!
