Hope

Hope, however slight returns. Not in a rush, but in a tentative releasing of pent up breath. So much has been lost, and surely, we are not done losing yet, the pandemic rages on, wars and extremism continue to rear their ugly head, isolationism, nationalism and racism are not going to disappear overnight. But maybe, just maybe, some progress can now be made.

This young lady, Amanda Gorman, is part of the hope, a poet of extraordinary maturity and talent. Hear her stunning poem here
