there is hope, my daydream child
Thursday July 24th 2008
by Paul Armstrong
Its never easy to hope. There's such great risk. Such potential of hurt. Love and hope are dangerous things -- because they make us feel. And feelings make us human, but humans fail, and things fall apart; without rhyme or reason or explanation. But we dust off and get up and find the reins of hope yet again.
Perhaps foolish and foolhardy, selfish or blind, but there's a story to be written, a life beyond ours and sometimes we're merely a role of the whole. So here we our -- my bride, my wife -- facing another hope.
Another child. A third. Another laugh, another voice, another part of our story. Sunshine and a ray. Hints of excitement and anticipation; but only hints. And left lingering is that crush and burst, that pain of hope unrealized. 9 weeks. Fingers crossed. Hope lingering, yet docked on the bay, waiting for assurance. But still hope.

May your house be filled with the cries of a thousand children and your mouths filled with sweet, free-range chicken meat, seasoned with various cinnamons and spices grown in exotic locations.
The circus expansion is always a blessed event. I hope the munchkin knows how to juggle or talk to large cats from the womb.
You're in our prayers and thoughts and internet chatting devices.
