“To live holding both the terrifying and unjust in mind while at the same time finding strength to do the drone work of living is a juggling act we perform with various degrees of success at different times of our lives.” Love this ❤️

I am a big believer in hope as a source of daily fuel as well as curiosity too. I’ve also reached a point in my life where with an eternal heart for social justice, I can and must hope to use my position of privilege for making a small difference in this massive f***ed up world. Thank you as always for your delicious love letters x

Curiosity and hope are very much linked, it seems to me. And I think it ties in with Rebecca Solnit's idea that both pessimism nor optimism assume knowledge about the future, whereas hope admits it cannot know the future. To be curious is to be open to how things will unfold. Thank you, Penny, for being a delicious reader!
