What Hope Is

Author: Grassmarket Community Project Creative Writing Group

By Fred, Daniel, Natasha, Liso, Dave, Fiona and Jess

Hope is trusting in fate to work things out rather than worrying about it.

A dream to lose weight when sometimes it feels like everyone’s looking at me.

Hope is finding light in the darkness.

Being confident, warm, thoughtful, and positive.

The reciprocity of love, the ending of wars and injustice.

Hope is remembering there is still sunshine above the haar.
