Never Fear. Always Hope. Again.

"This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address

Never fear. Always Hope. Fear is the opposite of hope. Witness what is happening, upon the subpoena battles between The White House and the Democrats in Congress, the commutation of the sentence of a convicted felon to protect the highest political and corporate powers from answering to their crimes. There seem to be different rules for you and I and for those who have the money and clout to push their agenda.


Shadows remain over our country- looming sandstorms of pure driven terror, and it's hard to tell from which direction they blow. Those in power believe their interests are more important than the will of the people. They believe they are Lords of the Land and we should cower in hopelessness and helplessness under their rule.


Never fear. Always hope. Hope is the opposite of fear. It begins with one person, one spark in the engulfing wilderness of dishonesty and manipulation, the darkness of the controlling mind. One person, talking to another, who talks to another and so on until the fire of truth ignites the timbers of tired lies, until there are millions standing in triumph over the faded specters of fear.


We are those people. We are the lights, the fires that illuminate the pathway for honesty, decency, truth and liberty.


Fear takes orders. Hope takes stands. Fear destroys via exploitation of our greatest weaknesses. Hope builds upon our greatest strengths. We can overcome the weaknesses that would retire us to despair and disunity by standing united upon the strength of hope!


We have the power to refuse fear. We have the power to choose hope.
