Hope
I've been tagged by my friend, Otowi.
Rules:
1. ON your blog, post the Rules & 10 things you have HOPE for in your life.
2. LINK Tag 10 people (we want hope to spread people!) and LINK the person who tagged you.
3. Comment/Notify the 10 People they've been tagged.
I've changed the rules a little for myself. Here is my photographic version of some people/things that give me hope and help me to remember the miracles of life. I did follow the imposed limit of only listing 10 things, but there is no limit to the things that can bring hope.
People like this who can still love and laugh even when they've been driven out of their homeland.
Hope in a human body. What will this child bring to our world?
Life can live even in places that seem inhospitable.
One of this year's pea plants.
All we have to do is stick a seed of hope in the ground, water it faithfully, and voila! We have food!
Each spring, I have an unspoken hope that tightly closed buds will open into flowers.
Until this moment, I never thought about what it would be like if, one year, a flowerless spring arrived.
Beavers are made for chewing through trees. I couldn't chop down a tree if you put an ax in my hand. But we all can naturally do what we were made to do.
It all works.
Everything will change.
People who live with integrity with their values and are not afraid to pay the price are a source of hope for me. This is me with the three nuns - Jackie, Ardeth, and Carol - who were imprisoned for protesting at a missile site. Okay, they cut a fence and poured their own blood on the silo.
At the time that this photo was taken, we were delivering food that they had collected as restitution payment for their misdeeds.
Ahhhhh.....

Without "How to" books on parenting, animals just know what to do in order to grow independent offspring out of fragile little eggs.

Ahhhhh.....Seeing how 90% of my 4 blogging friends have already been tagged, if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged. And thanks for stopping by! You give me hope.
(I must credit the last photo to my talented cousin, Larry G. Blackwood of Hawkline Photography. And I must thank him for once in awhile offering us a color photo.)
