hope.

Posted on July 9, 2015 by beth

Standard

sitting by the river

relaxed and thinking

this may not end well.

yet hopeful.

—

‘hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism.

it is not the conviction that something will turn out well,

but the certainty that something makes sense,

regardless of how it turns out.’

Yeah…’I “hope” I don’t fall in’ is pretty passive.. almost agnostic or detached…especially if the water is FREEZING COLD!

End well…..ending well might be a fall in to the water with laughter and splashing and unexpected fun. Maybe THAT is the hope. 🙂 And that kind of makes sense given the setting. 🙂
