Hope

Hope springs from the cold cold ground.

Today I looked at photographs of dead people. Dead children. Why? Because, if you will pardon the expression, I needed a kick in the balls. A reminder that the entire world is not the paradise that I live in.

I felt helpless but I am not. I can help a little. Feeling helpless and choosing to be helpless are two different things.

I went to a website that is filled with hope. It showed how very little can be used to do so much.

I gave a little money and will try to remember to make it a regular activity.

  2. Perfect photo for a beautiful sentiment, I know how you feel, that emptiness sometimes is overwhelming, but everytime you do a kind act, you improve the universe, and I have strong feelings that you do a lot of those :) May 2009 be kind to you too x
