I was very struck by the idea of holding both despair and hope in tension because they both have the same origin. I have never considered it before in quite that way.
Thank you for holding these complex emotions so honestly and with such grace. The way you navigate despair alongside hope reminds me that our darkest moments often carry the seeds of transformation. Your writing gives space to the full spectrum of feeling, inviting us to sit with discomfort while still reaching for light.
This is a brilliant essay! I have not been a fan of the word “hope” as I found its meaning empty and vague and not action oriented. However, you’ve won me over! This is a very uplifting and helpful piece. Just what we needed.
It's true.
Your son is very lucky to have you as his father. Thank you for all your writings. 💕
