Hope

I recently received a new teaching about the nature of hope. I’ve always thought hope had to do with a time in the distant future when the now of then will be better than the current now. But I’ve learned that hope is really a very present emotion. It is an openness of heart that at any moment, beauty or spirit will be discovered like a found object. I’m seeing that when I have that expectation in my heart, I’m never disappointed… beauty and spirit are alway close at hand…
