“Sometimes the greatest gift
you can give yourself
give the situation
give the world
is to keep trying,
keep naming, calling,
keep the struggle alive,
keep hope alive.

And sometimes the greatest gift
you can give yourself
give the situation
give the world
is to just
let
go.”
― Shellen Lubin

“I truthfully feel none of us have anyone to blame for whatever we have done with our own personal lives. It has been proven that at the age of 7 most of us have reached the age of reason—which means we do, at this age, understand & know the difference between right & wrong.”
― Truman Capote, In Cold Blood

“I compared Obama to an Etch A Sketch. You could impose upon him whatever you wanted. He was your American dream. That was the beauty of the hope and change message emblazoned on his face. He was the promise of what America could be and become for everyone if the nation overcame its racism and cruelty. A scrawny kid born to a Muslim Kenyan father and a white mother, who grew up in Indonesia, ate biryani with his Pakistani roommate in college, and graduated from Harvard Law School, ended up being one of the most beloved politicians in the modern era and the most powerful man in the world.

Maybe a Pakistani kid could become president? If America voted for Obama twice, then why not our kids? That was the power of Obama. He allowed the nation to imagine "What If?”

“If I’d learned anything over the past few weeks, it was that talking about your loved ones kept them alive, and I needed that. I was certain Jax needed that, too.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, Southern Storms

“That was the thing about storms. When you were in the middle of them, they felt so powerful. They felt as if they were driving your life, and you were left with no control over the way the winds blew you. That was why it was so important to have a core group of love surrounding you at all times. When you faced the storms together, when you held the hands of the ones you loved, and stood steady, the storms had a harder time pushing you over. The storms didn’t blow you away because you were linked to the world with love, the most powerful weapon that could be used during the mightiest of storms. And when the storm passed? You were left standing with the ones you loved, staring out at the rainbows.”

“If there was one thing Zafira didn't do, it was hope. Hope was as much a disease as love was.”

“Hope can be dangerous because it means exposing yourself to the possibility of success, to allow yourself to imagine a happy ending, only to be confronted by cold, brutal disappointment.”

“Glaube, Hoffnung, Liebe, diese drei, wie es so schön im Korinther dreizehn heißt. Aber die Hoffnung ist die zäheste unter ihnen, das steht bei mir, dem Juden Gulliver, mit roten Mahlen in mein Fleisch gezeichnet.”

― Brittainy C. Cherry, Southern Storms

“Maybe it isn’t about getting to the sunlight, but being able to weather the storm with those you love most.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, Southern Storms

“Whenever you see another child, maybe say the word ‘Daisyâ€� in your mind. Think of those as moments of your daughter sending you her love, instead of making it out to be a moment of loss. She can live in every single moment, and if you allow it, that can be a beautiful blessing.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, Southern Storms

“These are among the many foundation stones of this new world we have built, and the work continues. I know all this seemed impossible a decade ago, when it felt as if everything was falling apart and our climate might be doomed. But everything we did mattered. All of it.

We now know that we're going to keep global temperature rise below the most dangerous tipping points that climate scientists warned us about a decade ago. We can look our kids in the eye and tell them we didn't let them down. Now we can watch their dreams unfold.”
― Mary Anne Hitt

“What gives me hope is that human history is full of examples of people across the ages who have risen to face the great challenges of their time and have succeeded. Victory is not the arrival in some promised land; it is the series of imperfect victories along the way that edge us closer to building the critical mass that eventually shifts the status quo.”
― Rebecca Solnit, Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility

“...this crowd feels like a world in which peace can work out. Stricter laws on guns, mental health services provided to all, an end to shame around needing help, an honest conversation about the malady that is white supremacy. It can exist. It doesn’t have to be this complicated.”

HIs heard lifted, eyes churning. 'There was a time when I dreamed of hearing that,' he murmured. 'When I never thought I'd hear it from you.' He gestured to the tent- to Adriata beyond it. 'Our trip here was the first time I let myself... hope.”

“TIME: The Long Journey

It occurred to me that a life well lived takes courage to tell...

When one sees beyond knowing there is no beginning and no end, only an undeniable presence of something greater than self.

We understand the greater self is God.

Sometimes, I feel, God presents us with sorrow to show us there is hope for tomorrow.

When you touch another soul all souls unite and live as one spirit alive in the universe.

God blesses us in unseen ways daily. The time we share is our history.

Your endearing journey touches lives needing the love only you can give.

“I wanted
the past to go away, I wanted
to leave it, like another country; I wanted
my life to close, and open
like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song
where it falls
down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery;
I wanted
to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know,
whoever I was, I was

alive
for a little while.”
― Mary Oliver, Dream Work
