hope smells
like fresh petrichor
of welcome spring rain
hope tastes
like first juicy tomato
of sun-ripened summer
hope sounds
like migration call
of swan o’er autumn field
hope feels
like flickering flame
of log in winter hearth
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
(Romans 8:24-25 ESV)

A beautiful journey through the seasons of hope – I especially love ‘hope feels
like flickering flame of log in winter hearth’

The lines from Romans brought this quote to mind.
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Hope smells like the petrichor, (had to Google that one). There is a smell of coming rain in the dry season and the smell of hope afterward, it’s beautiful

Yes, I love the scent of the word…thanks
