“Hope is a state of mind, not of the world.
Hope, in this deep and powerful sense,
is not the same as joy that things are going well,
or willingness to invest in enterprises
that are obviously heading for success,
but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.”
Vaclav Havel

Deep thoughts. Anne Lamott's made me chuckle.
(trying to comment in the "hate" entry, please forgive if i've chosen the wrong link.
Hi Lora! Thanks for commenting on my blog, even if it landed in the wrong post. No worries.
Ms. Lamott has lots of funny and convicting lines. She is a fine writer. Have you read any of her books?
