Hope In The Dark: A Survival Guide

In these perilous and uncertain times, with war, terrorism, crime, tyranny, climate change, economic collapse, or pandemic ever present threats to our peace and safety, it isn't any wonder why so many are losing hope. But hope is the one thing we can't afford to lose, for hope has kept our species alive much longer than our ignorance would have made possible otherwise. A self-fulfilling prophecy has begun to manifest before our eyes - an apocalyptic narrative that we've accepted to be the inevitable result of an angry God. It is a story that has been told and retold for thousands of years. Words are powerful. Whether written or spoken, once believed, they are powerful enough to create the world around us the way paint transforms a blank canvas. It is time to write a new story and a happier ending than the one that's been recited for too long. The world stands at the precipice of change, and it's up to each of us to contribute our gifts in an effort to ensure the coming transformation is a best, rather than worst-case scenario. Hope in the Dark, through poem and prose, takes an honest, gritty and uncompromising look at the world as it is, delving into the darkest parts of human nature, confronting head on, the toughest issues of our time such as: slavery, racism, conspiracy, environmental degradation, homelessness, war, poverty, prison, crime, religion, sex, death and more. But there is grace to be found, and Hope in the Dark shares it among its pages, reminding readers of our beauty, our vulnerability, our strengths, and our purpose, encouraging us to not lose hope, regardless of the color of the sky. Taking examples and inspiration from nature, anthropology, modern culture, history, international and current affairs, Hope In The Dark presents the reader with a unique view of the world as it is, in all its sorrow and all of its glory, and provides a positive vision of the world as it might be...if only.
