Hope means to keep living amid desperation,

And to keep running in the darkness.

Hope is knowing that there is love,

It is trust in tomorrow,

It is falling asleep and waking again

When the sun rises.

In the midst of a gale at sea

It is to discover land.

In the eyes of another it is to see that he understands you.

Henri Nouwen, 1976

Remind me why I’m here.

Remind me why I do the things I do.

Remind me why I love them when I do them and I hate myself when I don’t.

Remind me because sometimes I need reminding. Like these times, when what I do and why I’m here feel like a whole lot of nothing and for no reason at all.
