Mode of Hope
Hope is only a beginning; it’s not a substitute for action, only a basis for it. - Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark.
“Writing is always a sign of hope, even when it is pessimistic. Something, from me to you, wants saying. Without hope, there is no point.” Lysaker, John T.. "Hope". Hope, Trust, and Forgiveness: Essays in Finitude, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2023,
Hope is something we do, not something we wish or wait for. Hope is a practice.
