You may have mentioned this particular book before. Maya Angelou is a big-hearted woman and an inspiring writer.

Thank you for sharing your gems with us. I keep my hope in my heart and behind my eyelids, so that everytime I close my eyes and am in quiet darkness, I can see and feel my hope in my dreams and in every heartbeat.

I know a little book I carry everywhere with me, a simple book of wisdom, of truths, is Maya Angelou’s lesser known work, ‘Wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now’. Please forgive me if I have shared this before, but it’s such an important little book. THIS would be the one book I would have to take on a desert island. Eloquent, breathtaking. A clarity of thought and soul combined in a single work of simplicity and genius. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wouldnt-Take-Nothing-Journey-Now/dp/1860491405/ref=sr_1_16?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1367980535&sr=1-16&keywords=maya+angelou :D

Found that on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope

The logic of the ticket guy resonates a hell of a lot with me, alas, but I think the underlying message is that we need hope – and everyday life has a way of removing it, perhaps..?

Assume the dear wish is leaning over your shoulder ☼ keen to be grabbed.
In a better known story Nasrudin is searching for a key under a street lamp. A friend passes by and asks. ‘Where did you last see your key?’
‘In my house,’ Nasrudin says.
‘So why look here?’ the friend asks.
Nasrudin huffs at the silly question. ‘Cause there’s more light here.’

Like discovering your unborn baby. You can prevent idiots telling you all about it from scans and tests, you can go into the birth ignorant, but after nine months it’s there, all yours. Likewise the boy in the story has to look in that last pocket eventually or get thrown off the train. HIs choice. Maybe that says more about me than the moral of the story though. I tend to imagine the what if scenarios. I also like to think that the day my dearest wishes come within my grasp I’ll reach out and grab them.

It’s scary to be visible with your heart’s desire in a multitude of universes :)
