Fascinating Robert and as always, your truth is provocative and soul connecting. I am up early to read this and to do something I have not done in some time with my busy schedule, to look at time. I think hope is connected to time and how we take it in. Overwhelm brings on fear. Often overwhelm is due to time and not enough of it. I wonder if the amino acids of hope lie in time, rather than anything more emotional. Time to pause, time to ask-"is this self loving?" nourishes hope. I wonder if instead of just having hope, we can grow it. Like a garden. With time and meaning in it. Just a thought in response. Thank you. xxooMara

Thank you Robert. Fascinating ideas at the heart of this.

How much have you imposed your will onto the situation/young people, even at the point of questioning/where the camera/you choose to look/seek etc (is very interesting)….perhaps young people can be/feel hopeful and hopeless at the same moment in time..

I wouldn’t have ‘wanting punitive justice’ as evidence of hopefulness broadly speaking even if it’s expressed as hope, it might even be seen as evidence of disfunction and violence in our society - where empathy and the desire to give freely and compassionately could be seen as the only true beromiters of hope. Lots of love. A
