Quote
“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all.”

Author
A prolific American poet, Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886) was considered to be an eccentric by local neighbours, living much of her life in isolation.

Soul-Questions
1. Dickinson makes a connection between ‘hope’ and the ‘soul’ … a spiritual connection. Do you relate to hope as a spiritual connection?
* If so, how?
* If not, how do you relate to hope?

2. In the past, when you’ve gone through a personal situation that begs the “where is the hope?” question, how/where did you find hope?

3. In situations such as COVID19 and its consequences, who/where do you turn for guidance, counsel – hope?


4. Are you someone who asks for / seeks guidance, counsel, encouragement, hope in difficult times or do you struggle alone?
* If the latter, why?
* If the former, what prevents you from reaching out / seeking help/guidance

5. Are you open to being a hope-filled / hopeful person?
* Are you being open to hope?
* If not, what could you do to become open?
