For There Are Always Hope and Light
“In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed—
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.
Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream—that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.
What though that light, thro’ storm and night,
So trembled from afar—
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth’s day-star?”
A Dream – By Edgar Allan Poe
I believe there are always ways we can make our lives a little brighter and sunnier. Even when we go through difficult times, either individually or as a society, there are ways and reasons to stay hopeful and optimistic.
I believe in the power of friendship, the bond between people, connecting and gathering, having great conversations, laughter and love, visibly or invisibly thinking of and supporting each other.
I will be holding the Circle in my new home in Oak Bay. Here are the dates for the fall Circle:
September 30th,
October 28th,
November 25th.
Our start time is 6:00 pm.
Please let me know if you are interested in coming to any of these evenings.
Warmest regards,
Anita
