1 " Hope is like sunshine, which is still there, shielded by clouds
Hope is that light, which beckons to brighten our days
The breezy buoyancy of hope stirs us to hold hands
The darkest of clouds disintegrate, says Mother Nature. "

― Balroop Singh

2 " I bring you with reverent hands
The books of my numberless dreams. "

― W.B. Yeats , The Wind Among the Reeds

3 " In your hands

The dog, the donkey, surely they know
They are alive.
Who would argue otherwise?

But now, after years of consideration,
I am getting beyond that.
What about the sunflowers? What about
The tulips, and the pines?

Listen, all you have to do is start and
There’ll be no stopping.
What about mountains? What about water
Slipping over rocks?

And speaking of stones, what about
The little ones you can
Hold in your hands, their heartbeats
So secret, so hidden it may take years

Before, finally, you hear them? "

― Mary Oliver , Swan: Poems and Prose Poems
