Hope that keeps us going !


I find this cluster of rose buds in our garden a delight to watch each morning! They spring  hope within me at the beginning of each day!

The experiences each of us goes through in our life every day, bring mixed mood of cheer and concern.That is why I like the stage of a bud when the sepals in the calyx are giving way for the flower to emerge. That is the critical stage in the blossoming of a flower. 

The readiness of the bud to bloom and the opening of the sepals need synchronisation ! 

Such a convergence of critical factors happens automatically in nature effortlessly.

It is this consciousness that brings renewal of hope about the fullness of life that each of us can hope for!

However adverse the situation that each of us might be in, there are certainties which would take place that would envelope us to live in hope!

For that reason, hope is an anchor that steadies us in the journey of life each day. 

In the photo above, there are tender leaves in a branch which soon will produce one or more buds!

We live enveloped and immersed in hope!
