SYMBOLS OF HOPE

Symbols of hope are everywhere if we look for them.  Some are common parts of the human experience.  Some are more difficult to interpret because they speak more to the soul than to our everyday awareness.

The smile of a young child is a symbol of hope, projecting innocence and the idea of new beginnings.

The beating of our own heart is a symbol of hope, conveying the mystery of life that has given birth to our individual life, and sending forth feelings and emotions that convey intensity and beauty to us.

The sunrise each day is a symbol of hope.  Its regularity speaks to the heart to say: "You see, darkness will only last for a little while.  And then light and a new day will return."

A bird in flight is a symbol of hope.  It speaks to the yearning of each soul for the freedom to fly, and creates an image of what that freedom would feel like.

The first flowers blooming in the Spring are symbols of hope.  They tell us of eternal renewal - that life does not end but continues. 

The joy of loving deeply is a symbol of hope.  It lets us know what it is like to feel fully alive, fully engaged with our purpose on Earth.

Each of these common occurrences is a symbol of hope because it conveys to the heart a quiet understanding that life is mysterious and fundamentally good, even if, in the present moment, we are beset by difficulties.  These symbols speak to a deeper knowing that comes from the soul, telling us that we are forever held in something much larger than ourselves, and that that something is present in the intimate details of our lives.

LINES OF LIGHT

Lines of spiritual light connect people, situations, ideas, and events in time and space that resonate with each other.  They move out from us and travel across the planet as currents of energy. As they interact with people, things, and circumstances, everywhere, they spread the message of light and of hope. They also join with other streams of light, strengthening the planetary network of light and creating healing for the planet.

Lines of Light can emanate from our thoughts, from our feelings, and from our bodies themselves.  They can reflect the state of our hearts, and are strengthened by the words we speak when these words resonate with an energy of Divine light and love. Such words can soothe the heart and uplift the soul, furthering the process of individual and planetary awakening.
