The season writes itself, they say
Hope, Peace, Joy, Love
Hope though? 
Really? 
Hope requires a hard hat. I go into 
the caves of a person’s sorrow
         the mines of grief
         the construction of a life
That is where Hope is called. 
That is where I go. 
May there be an Advent hymn to sustain me.
