Hope! [1]
… heart is sad
… the seed of new hope
… discover marvels
A past … you had forgotten
Take the time to look at your life
Go to the gardens of your soul
And you will find fullness.
If you can not fulfil your desires
You have the hope that one day
You will … other joys
… finds your face and hides …
Soon you … the sun will dry them
Smile to life, because today nothing goes, it remains tomorrow
Advance on the path of life.
Because a the end you will see
Inscribed in the sky in letters of fire the word hope.
Life is not always right but it is not a valid reason to give-up
hope again…
To live without hope is to stop living
Hope is the greatest vehicle of success in the midst of
Uncertainty, there is always hope, no matter how fragile
Even without hope, the fight is still hope
Hope is the pillar of the world
Hope is the will to fight the very obstacles the see
insurmountable.

Footnotes:
[1] Hope! Letter was written by a refugee participant during the closing workshop of the 5 day-meeting in Lesvos island of the Project ‘The Route Of Solidarity’. The workshop’s topic was ‘to pack the whole meeting in a small bag, with some words & objects. The Hope! letter is partly destroyed because many flowers cut in the island were put in the same bag (as seen in the photo, the left bag on the top line)
