Hope

I know
it's hard to be reconciled
not everything is exactly
the way it ought to be

but please turn around
and step into the future
leave memories behind
enter the land of hope

--Zbigniew Herbert, from A Life

I found this quote about a year ago in a magazine and posted it on my bulletin board. I love the message and I'd like to think that because of it's message I have tried to look to the future and all the hope that it has to offer a little bit more.
