Hope is more important than ever.

Today I read in the news that twenty-two people, including children, were killed in a terrorist attack at a pop concert in Manchester. Hope is more important than ever. There is a General Election in a months’ time. Hope is more important than ever. Fear, ignorance, hatred, apathy, four faces carved in a cliff. Hope is more important than ever. Every day is a struggle. Some days I want to give up. Hope is community. It’s the ties we can’t see, but that form our safety net. Like a spider’s web of connection. Hope is more important than ever.
