Hope will never be silent. ~ Harvey Milk

When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens. ~ Anne Lamott

May the God of hope fill you
with all joy and peace
as you trust in Him,
so that you may overflow with hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
~ Romans 15:13
