There was once a Pope called....

....Alexander.  I don't know if he followed any religious doctrine, but he (Alexander Pope) was a poet.  He once remarked - 'Hope springs eternal in the human breast'.  Hope, observed Pope, cannot help but bounce back, even when it is seriously squashed. The most that its enemies can do, is pile so much weight upon it that it takes some while to recover. If you really want to get the better of hope, you had best attack it swiftly while its defences are down.
If you have found yourself a little lacking in your life lately, that's what must have happened.


To revive it, just create a little space in which there is less pressure.



First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits, or they'll eventually conquer you. (Rob Gilbert)
