Hope

September 18, 2011

Hope is not closing your eyes before difficulties, risks and failures. It is knowing that if you fail now, you will not always fail and if you suffer, you will recover. It is knowing that life is good and love is powerful and the future is full of promises.

A little shoeshine stand in Oxnard. I thought this hand-painted philosophy captured the essence of hope perfectly.
