The pulse of truth

"Hope's home is at the innermost point in us, and in all things.  It is a quality of aliveness.  It does not come at the end, as the feeling that results from a happy outcome.  Rather, it lies at the beginning, as a pulse of truth that sends us forth.  When our innermost being is attuned to this pulse it will send us forth in hope, regardless of the physical circumstances of our lives.  Hope fills us with the strength to stay present, to abide in the flow of Mercy no matter what outer storms assail us."

-- Cynthia Bourgeault, Mystical Hope
