Good morning. 🦌🦌🦌
25 September 2025
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. ☠️
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen; nobody knows my sorrow. But we have high hopes, we have high hopes, we have high-in-the-sky apple pie hopes. 🎶🎷🎸🎹🎺
I sometimes sing that little mashup. My wife reminds me they come from two different songs. Of course I know that—but they fit together so well. The first line is from an old African American spiritual with unknown origins. The second borrows from High Hopes, written by Sammy Cahn (lyrics) and Jimmy Van Heusen (music). So we move—from trouble to hope. 🐜
A friend once told me: Hope isn’t a course of action, but wishing is. I think I kind of get that. Hope means knowing there’s a light somewhere, and waiting for it to show up on your face. Wishing… well, wishing requires a magical entity to grant the favor. Like rubbing a lantern to conjure a genie. 🧞 A person might wish by closing their eyes and asking a numinous presence for help.
Hope, though—it’s always there. At least until the very end, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. And it gets brighter if you help it along. If you hope for a new car, wishing won’t get you there. But working, saving, showing up—that might. If you hope someone will help you, it works best if you ask. Ask a real person. Wishing alone probably won’t bring the help.
“If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
“Wishing, like sipping a glass of punch… is merely a quiet way to spend one's time before the candles are extinguished on one's birthday cake.” — Lemony Snicket
“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul—and sings the tunes without the words—and never stops at all.” — Emily Dickinson

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Our doings are not so important as we naturally suppose; our successes and failures do not after all matter very much. Even great sorrows can be survived; troubles which seem as if they must put an end to happiness for life, fade with the lapse of time until it becomes almost impossible to remember their poignancy. But over and above these self-centered considerations is the fact that one’s ego is no very large part of the world. The man who can center his thoughts and hopes upon something transcending self can find a certain peace in the ordinary troubles of life which is impossible to the pure egoist.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 5 “Fatigue” (1930)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/russell-bertrand/775…

The Stream of Life sometimes glides smoothly on, through flowry meadows and enamell’d planes. At other times it draggs a winding reluctant Course through offensive Boggs and dismal gloomy Swamps. The same road now leads us thro’ a spacious Country fraught with evry delightful object, Then plunges us at once, into miry Sloughs, or stops our passage with craggy and inaccessible mountains. The free roving Songster of the forest, now rambles unconfin’d, and hopps from Spray to Spray but the next hour perhaps he alights to pick the scattered Grain and is entangled in the Snare. The Ship, which, wafted by a favourable gale, sails prosperously upon the peaceful Surface, by a sudden Change of weather may be tossed by the Tempest, and driven by furious, opposite winds, upon rocks or quicksands. In short nothing in this world enjoys a constant Series of Joy and prosperity.
John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
