LindaG23 I worry about climate change and people in denial. It doesn't help when politicians instantly identify green sources of power as the problem. I read an article recently that some Republican politicians in Texas -- while not acknowledging climate change, do admit the weather is changing -- and say something has to be done about it. That was in reference to hurricane events that are happening more frequently, then stalling and causing flooding. marionm Have you read the Emily Dickinson poem, Hope is the thing with feathers?

happy - what a lovely poem ❤It's funny how life works, because I needed to hear this today. “Hope” is the thing with feathers
Emily Dickinson“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

LindaG23 “Hope, for Dickinson, sings its wordless tune and never stops singing it: nothing can faze it. In other words (as it were), hope does not communicate by 'speaking' to us in a conventional sense: it is a feeling that we get, not always a rational one, that cheers us even in dark times of despair.” Yes, hope springs eternal and a good thing too! 🙂

Indeed, my pipes did not burst! Because I had high hopes, I had high hopes, I had high in the sky apple pie hopes :  |
