Feathers of Hope

A new life requires a death of some kind, a letting go. What we let go of, is a way of being in the world that we have outgrown. Violence has no home. 

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

    That perches in the soul -
    And sings the tune without the words -
    And never stops - at all -"

    Emily Dickinson
