Yesterday, after I posted the idea that we could be the message we want to receive, I asked myself what message I wanted that day. I thought about all the problems in the world, in the country, in the state, neighborhood, even in my family. The news about most of that is so disspiriting. I longed for messages of hope.
Right away, I saw a tiny piece of paper. It must have been a loading tag or something, because written on it was a number and the name of the state of Arkansas. Immediately I thought of Hope, Arkansas, the former home of past President Clinton.
Funny universe. I laughed to myself. It definately was a message of "Hope", and the playfulness of it lifted my spirits. And I wanted a, well, different answer. Something with more direction in it, something I could work with to activate the hope in me.
The next thing I picked up was this:
Hmmm. Figure out what it is. What is hope? Immediately I remember what Terry Prachett's character Igor, said in his fabulous story Making Money, "Prayer is hope with a beat." So therefore hope is a form of prayer.
When I hope for something, I have in mind the thing that I want and I envision myself enjoying it. When I delight in this vision, I activate a vibration in me that brings me closer to what I want. Hoping for something is the beginning stage of creating the life that you want.
I've got HOPE!
I hope you do too.
Love,
Kristine
