Hope

"To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation"

"Prayer is a spiritual act."

"I travel to know the life of great souls in the pages of a book."

"Destiny has answered it call!"

"God created you for a special purpose."

"May God point right path for you."

"Travel on your sacred-path."

"There is an overflowing grace, for every great work."

"The Lord’s holy fire lit my path."

"The Lord’s gracious hand is upon us. We will begin the good work."

"May the Father’s will be done in my life."

"The instinct, quiet inner voice is the voice of the Holy Spirit."

"Live your greatest dream."

". . . what I told Malory happened next is that when he looked over at her then it was like he'd been waiting a hundred years to see her, and this crazy ass Ledfeather girl all the way from Standing Rock, she looked off after the elk and then back at Doby through her hair, like she'd maybe been waiting for him too, but was scared a little, wanted to be sure, so Doby opened his mouth and said her name across the backseat of Junior's cab, Claire, like a flower opening in his mouth, and she held her lips together and nodded thank you to him, yes, thank you, and then swallowed what was in her throat and just let the sides of their hands touch together again some like it didn't really matter. But it did."

"You ought to thirst for the living water."

"Be master of your destiny."

"The universe whispered it's him, but I sent you away ~ I tested our connection and left it to fate, Years have passed and others have come into our lives, but here we are again, meeting another time. Our timing is off, so we set our connection free once again, trusting the winds of fate and the synchronicity it sends."

"After scientists broke open the coat of a lotus seed (Nelumbo nucifera) and coddled the embryo into growth, they kept the empty husk. When they radiocarbon-dated this discarded outer shell, they discovered that their seedling had been waiting for them within a peat bog in China for no less than two thousand years. This tiny seed had stubbornly kept up the hope of its own future while entire human civilizations rose and fell. And then one day this little plant's yearning finally burst forth within a laboratory. I wonder where it is right now."
