Hoping within the Darkness . . .




 Humming In The Darkness


Hope means to keep living

amid desperation

and to keep humming

in the darkness.

Hoping is knowing that there is love,

it is trust in tomorrow

it is falling asleep

and waking again

when the sun rises.

In the midst of a gale at sea,

it is to discover land.

In the eyes of another

it is to see that you are understood . . .


As long as there is still hope

There will also be prayer . . .


And you will be held

in God’s hands.




_ Henri Nouwen

  With Open Hands _
