I'm glad you started this thread Alffe, because it has been very much on my mind:
"Love, in all its manifestations, is an eternally popular theme, featured more often than hope. In truth, however, we might want to stress hope even more than love, for it is hope that energizes love, hope that lends love its spirit, hope that transforms despair into healing. As much as love, if not more than love, hope is the emotion that brings forth motion. It is the balm of wellness dispatched on angels' wings."
