Hope binds. Kindness transforms. Hope has its own power. Hope is dangerous to those who rely on division. To hold onto it, is to fight for it. @clentonf.bsky.social@kearao.bsky.social@martinwalkersds.bsky.social@tlap.bsky.social#MakingItReal#MakingItHappen#MakingItStick

Image of a quote from Nick Cave 

"Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position, it is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act as small as you like, such as reading to your little boy or showing him a thing you love or singing him a song or putting on his shoes keeps the devil down in the hole. It says the world and its inhabitants have value and are worth defending. It says the world is worth believing in. In time we come to find that this is so."
