In times of turmoil, HOPE can be hard to find. Hope might even seem senseless to have. Why hope for something only to have that hope dashed? I have a response to that.

Today, with a reflection and a poignant excerpt from author and poet, Pádraig Ó Tuama's beautiful book "In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World" I will reveal why having, keeping, sharing, and encouraging Hope is not a waste.

SHOW NOTES will have details links to related to Pádraig and how to find this book.

What a deal! What's in your wallet? A dollar to sponsor that show; that's what!] Thank you for listening and supporting Spark My Muse. It means a lot to me.
