| Hopes All Things by Kirsten Borror 2012 Acrylic 5x5 |
Endler's Livebearers are responsive to light and movement. Lack of light makes them sleep, and movement around the tank peps them up. While I'm in this time of pain, light is something I'm highly sensitive to, but it's not the light of the sun or the light of a bulb I'm speaking of. It's the light of hope. I've been trained to hope by my Biblical faith. It's what I'm expected to do! Many wedding ceremonies include the love chapter from Corinthians as a guideline to marital success which says "love always hopes". But it's hard when you keep getting smackdowns against your hope. I start to question it.
Running through memories, checking to see what light had shone there. Was it real? Was it fake light? Did I see a glimmer of hope? Or have I been a gullible fool? I certainly have no lack of wishes; but what I hope to hear hasn't been said. How painful it is! Out in the deep I feel my sorrow and others offer their light. They have made their way through dark journeys and found the Light that abides with us. I need those stories.
