The first day of spring,
a day of Hope,
for Hope is not not a wish
for what will happen,
but trust in the unseen
that already is.
I hope the sun will rise
because I know it is already rising.
So it is with all I hope for,
in myself, and in the world.
The cross draws ever nearer,
but my hope is in resurrection,
for even now already,
Christ is rising,
and all the world with him.
And for my friends in the global South:
yes, even on this first day of autumn,
spring is already rising.
Hope!
