Hope is the realization of the inner connectedness of all things;

of your life and your daily activity with the cosmic scheme of things.

The awareness of who you are–that gives you hope.

Faith and hope stem from the same inner, intuitive

realization of who you are, Whose you are,

that you are here for a purpose and that

nothing on earth can shake that.
