About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

I Dare Hope...

"All The flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today. " Write about this in your Blog entry today
--------
"Hope," I thought, the minute I read this quote that Megan asked us to write about, "Hope, the emotional anchor that makes us view our tomorrows positively."
So hope! And let's celebrate hope! My son tells me the United Nations General Assembly has designated 12 July as the International Day of Hope. We're half a year away to July 12, today, but I think, it was a good idea to give hope its own day. After all, this world seems to come apart at its seams, as every nation picks on some other nation at this very moment.
Yet, there's comfort in the idea of hope, even if it seems unattainable at this time.
When life feels stalled or progress is unseen, this quote reassures me that growth often happens underground before it appears above the surface. This is a big encouragement, I think, as our flowers of tomorrow do wait inside the seeds of today.
A seed is small and unremarkable. When I hold it in my hand, it gives no hint of color, fragrance, or abundance, which it may one day produce. Still, inside it lies a complete design like a hidden promise waiting for time, care, and the right conditions. The same goes for today's actions that often feel insignificant. Actions such as a single kind word, to see others from a positive angle, an hour spent practicing a skill, a decision to forgive, or the courage to start again. Then, repeated over time, they take root in our lives and shape who we become.
In fact, such growth often happens underground before it shows up above the surface. For the seed has spent a long time hiding in the soil, gathering strength. The same goes for our efforts that don't show immediate results. Yet, who says they are wasted? Somethings, some beautiful flowers, may be forming quietly, preparing for their season of beauty and abundance.
As such, I am not going to stop hoping for peace forever, for our world, for every nation, and for every person. It may happen. I have hope. Even if it'll take its time and I may not be around to see it.
