La Speranza


Hope

A luminous ray of light in a big room, full of darkness.

A possibility that something good might happen, when all bad things come rushing at you.

A feeling in our heart or soul that tells us to hold on, that the best is yet to come.

This is what HOPE is.

How does hope comfort you?

It helps you survive through the difficulty. It gives you the strength to wake up every morning, not knowing what destiny has in store for you, but still gather the courage to face what has been written for you.

Take an orphan for example. The child might have been in an orphanage since he/she was an infant. Or might have spent half of their lives with their parents, but unfortunately lost them in a possible tragedy. In either case, life becomes extremely hard to face.

Just imagine, waking up every morning with the hope of having a better life, living with someone who will shower you with their love. The orphan may wish for a mother to cuddle him/her.

Another prominent example is that of a soldier.
He/she puts his/her life on the line for their country’s safety, with the eminent fear that one day he/she may not be able to go back to their families alive.

Nevertheless, they still bravely do it; they still march out to the battlefield, determined to stop the threat with the hope to go home to a family optimistically waiting for their return.

A current crestfallen circumstance; the areas of perpetual conflicts such as Kashmir, Syria, Palestine, Yemen where fights, missiles, destruction, separation and death have over time become their wretched reality, these people still go to sleep, hoping for a healed future.

Even so, children still find a way to educate themselves and strive for a better tomorrow. What else can we call that, but Hope?

This is the flickering light that helps them to survive these harsh days.

Per se, there is an innumerable untold stories, of the unfavourable phases of life, but people continue lighting the candle of Hope, with the broadest smile on their faces that gives no indication of what they are going through.

In the story of ‘Pandora’s box’, there is a phrase which says, “As long as there is trouble in this world, I (HOPE) will always be there to console all of humankind”.
And till date, Hope has proven us wrong and has been our companion every time we feel abandoned.

Long live HOPE!!

TREES

Green, vivid, beautiful, and cooling freshness. That is a tree! It provides us with oxygen, it brightens up places with a colourful charm.  A tree plays different roles in different seasons. During autumn , it lets down leaves of all colours for people to admire while they flow around. In spring , it grows a new family of leaves and flowers for everyone to admire and feel vivid. In summer , the fruits are mature, fleshy and sumptuous enough for us to relish on. During winter , the trees fold inside to protect themselves from the icy cold and even the frigid snow. And this process continues smoothly.  Trees need water, sunlight and carbon dioxide, which in some way, makes them related to us. Rather than related I should say interdependent as we need oxygen whereas they need the carbon dioxide. Hence we co-live! A very realistic picture is that when a child starts drawing, he/she generally starts by drawing a blessing of nature—a flower; then gradually...

Generosity

“Give more than you wish to, and you shall receive double in return”.  “The hand that gives is better than the hand that asks” . Don’t we often hear our elders preaching us such good habits since our toddlerhood? This is the virtue of generosity! Generosity is a feature that has been granted to both humans as well as animals. It reflects a kind heart. Some people might be generous from a tender age, while some might not have developed that feeling. But this a feeling that needs to be encouraged in children right at a tender age. Initially, specially, as a child, we are forced to give something and that does not make us happy. If you ask children kindly, they would be more than willing to give to you and that is such a cute act.     However the request made has got to be reasonable of course! No one has ever become poor by being generous. Instead, our value increases immensely! People respect and appreciate us.  A simpl...

Blooms of Heaven

Flowers are synonymous of happy lives. Have you ever noticed, what ladies in happy couples are mostly offered. Indeed! Flowers. Why? Simple, it brings happiness. The joy of having nature’s beauties in your hand is enough to leave you grinning from one ear to another. Their scents, the vivid colours, shape, features, all of these, combine to define a flower. Flowers are of various colours like white, purple, blue, yellow, and then, there are absolute unique ones too. Look at what all flowers have inspired us to. The obvious one is Spring’s latest fashion mode. Dresses, shirts, shorts, handbags, belts, hairband, cutlery, drapes, etc. Floral impact leaves no item untouched. Life without flowers would be like life without oxygen. That statement is basically true, since, plants do produce oxygen! I wonder if it has been proven or not, flowers might be present everywhere, even in the aridest desert, we find a little bloom on the biggest giant spine, the cactus. Flowers ...
