To the dull mind nature is leaden. To the illumined mind
the whole world burns and sparkles with light.
~ by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Active hope is a practice...It is something we do rather than have. Since active hope
doesn't require our optimism, we can apply it even in areas where we feel hopeless.
The guiding impetus is intention; we choose what we aim to bring about, act for, or
express.
