Ms. Que BanhMy #gardens remind me that despite so much bleakness & fugly shit happening around the world - that there's still much joys & moments of peace, found in my gardens. It reminds me of how #nature just keeps on growing, through decomposition & how much #life there is to be found in our gardens. My gardens are part of my hope banks.
Sun Kitty ☀️as a student of NLP (neuro linguistic programming), I really like the lectures of Dr. Richard Bandler. This clip on getting rid of bad memories is very insightful.

How to get rid of the bad memories | NLP | Dr Richard Bandler
Chuck DarwinUnlike cynicism,
#hopefulness is hard-earned,
makes demands upon us,
and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth.
Hopefulness is not a neutral position either. It is adversarial.
It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.
Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like,
such as reading to your little boy,
or showing him a thing you love,
or singing him a song,
or putting on his shoes,
keeps the devil down in the hole.
It says the world and its inhabitants have value and are worth defending.
It says the world is worth believing in.
In time, we come to find that it is so.
-- Nick Cave
Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #190 - Following the last few years I'm feeling empty and more cynical than ever. I'm losing faith in other people, and I'm scared to pass these feelings to my little son. Do you still believe in Us (human beings)?
Dear Valerio, You are right to be worried about your growing feelings of cynicism and you need to take action to protect yourself and those...

LICSWA short story of #hopefulness.
Yesterday I convinced an 18 yr old to vote. She was feeling hopeless and powerless. By the end of our conversation, she promised to vote, despite her feelings, as a nod to her civic duty as an American citizen. She’s going to study marine biology. Who do you think she’s going to vote for? 💙
Steve Dustcircle 🌹Between #Hope and #Hopefulness;
#America is on #lifesupport...2024 will decide whether or not it's terminal.
Outia friend was complaining how she felt like *dead*, for she was tired
she had been in a *die-in* type of climate action protest earlier today, for Extinction Rebellion and Scientist Rebellion
so ofc one thinks of *resurrection*☝️
so ofc one thinks of 90s camp glamourous queer disco☝️😂🤩, i.e.

AviBeeH in @[email protected]’ #DemocraticABC stood for Hopefulness. I think hopefulness requires a vision of a better future, which requires the language, time, and space of mind to form it. Your thoughts?

Michael Downey 🧢Related, from 02018: "The difference between #optimism and #hopefulness is that hope is a choice."
