Hold on to hope
or it will fly away.
Nourish hope
or it will wither.
Seek out those
who cherish hope
and nurture it...together.

This is what my perpetual calendar says this morning. In the back of my mind I hear, "Keep hope alive." I just wonder if there is ever a time when we have to give up hope? Then I remember the story of Pandora's box, after all the emotions had been let out, hope remained. Perhaps that is why is is considered one of the three most important virtues.
