There is a crack in everything , that’s how the light gets in
Leonard Cohen
Beyond the tides of cynicism and depths of despair Past the grim ramblings of the evening news Therin lies a possibility, an opportunity for hope It comes to you like waves passing by Like clouds parting, making way for the crisp blue sky Illusive and temporary, a light shines forth from above It arrives in many forms, an invitation, a sign which gently awaits Hope - the spontaneous ecstatic laughter of a child Hope - the wonder and awe evoked from gazing into the seemingly infinte cosmos Hope - the beauty of the morning sun radiating through the blossoming trees in the spring Subtle glimpses of transcendance Hints of the sublime Unveiling the divine All point towards new paths and emergent possibilities As new horizons dawn upon us Hope arises It is through the gaps, that light shines through Light shines through
I am going to start recording some of my poetry to accompany the text with audio. Here is the audio version of this poem on Spotify.

Hope was, of course, the last remaining constituent of Pandora’s Box.
What does that mean to us today?

Thank you for reading. I am not too farmiliar with the story, but I do think we need a ‘new story for humanity’ or new possibilities as someone like Charles Eisienstein would say.
