"Muscular Hope" Your Invitation To Take An Imaginative Leap
I'm simmering this summer with two words: MUSCULAR HOPE. Krista Tippet has inspired this adventure in idea.
"I talk about hope being a muscle.It’s not wishful thinking, and it’s not idealism. It’s not even a belief that everything will turn out OK. It’s an imaginative leap, which is what I’ve seen in people like John Lewis and Jane Goodall.
These are people who said: 'I refuse to accept that the world has to be this way. I am going to throw my life and my pragmatism and my intelligence at this insistence that it could be different and put that into practice.'
That’s a muscular hope.
So, to your question, I don’t always feel robustly hopeful. Depression is something I’ve struggled with. I’ve found the world an unbearable place for months at a time in the last two years. But at the same time I don’t feel like there’s a place in my work for my despair."
