easter

it's easter and i'm editing chapters, pushing along. i'm thinking about the themes of the day, about faith and love and family. but then i'm thinking about hope.

and its more than just a word, but the single word hope can transform you.

keep it in mind and even the simplest of things is just bigger, somehow.

the section of MAKEGOOD i've been editing deals with an escape. i'm escaping this moment and running far away and as fast as my legs will take me. but i'm listening to the music playing on this site and a scene that's dark and depressed turns into something bigger. i keep the single word hope in mind and the scene becomes more than it once was. i'm not running away. now i'm running to. and that's pretty powerful. so, on this holiday, i wish we all find the hope within our lives, the promise within ourselves. this world is bigger than any and all of us. but, dark and intense and ominous as our problems seem, they can't love, they can't feel, they can't hope. i can. you can. and that's something.
