^Hope ~wish~

A dark entrance to a tunnel whose shape is arched on top
  and has a flat base and sides.
In the distance a bright shining exit of similar shape.

Annotate

  1. ^Trust to ^Divide the ~unknown~ so that we may ^Find ^Moderate ~intuition~ and ~outlook~ but ^Minimum ~thought~. 
    1. ^Feel ~good~ about the ^Unknown ~parts~ of it. 
    2. ^Act to the ~good~ in it. 
    3. ^Refuse it with ~gratitude~ until we have ~strength~ to ^Think to ^Navigate or ^Map it. 
    4. In ~weakness~, ^Care to ^Stop to ^Accept our ~limitations~ in its ~regard~. 

Subject

^Hope is a mode of ^Boundary that ~helps~ us to ^React with optimism to the ~unknown~.  It is a ~process~ ^Where we ^Tend to ^Trust so that we may ^Inspire it. 

For those ^Who ^Fall. 

For those ^Who are ^Okay to ^Fall because they ^Know there is ~power~ in the ^Fail. 

For those ^Who ^Try to ^Improve on the ~PATH~. 

^Full ~strength~ may ^Magnify ~hope~ to ~excess~ but we may ^Temper it to a ^Healthy amount ~as~ we ^Turn from it to ^Inspire it in others ^Who are in ~weakness~. 

Target

Anytime we ^Fall and ^Want to get up ^Again. 

^When ~SICK~ we can ^Fail toward a ^Better ~way~ with ~hope~. 

^Notice ^Slowly anytime for ~strength~ to ^Heal. 

It is self-causing so once ^Present it may ^Signal that it is time to ^Care to ^Become ~more~ from it for its ^Own sake. 

We could ^Contend or (dis-)^Prove every distortion ~one~ by ~one~ until we ^Manage it all in our ~mind~.  However, afterward we can't ^Maintain ~momentum~, and we ^Reduce our ~sight~ with all that new ~knowledge~ in interference.  ^When we resist a mode with ~force~ of ~fact~ we also trade ~hope~ for ~worry~ and ~belief~ for ~doubt~.  Our ~war~ to ^Help ~one-another~ ^Learn or ^Hold ~truth~ has this ^Significant drawback.  Without ~momentum~, we can't ^Gain ~outlook~.  And without ~sight~, we can't ^Gain ~intuition~.  But our ~outlook~ and ~intuition~ ^Hold the most practical ~knowledge~ of all. 

We ^Inspire ~doubt~ and ~worry~ ^When we ^Care ^Enough to ^Teach away our distortions.  So we ^Respond with ^Less ~hope~ and ~belief~ unless we ^Make an ~effort~ to ^Maintain them.  ^When we are not yet ^Trustful or ^Honest, an ~excess~ of ~doubt~ and ~worry~ is already ^Present so instead ^Choose to ^Believe and ^Trust to ^Hope. 

Rather than ^Attempt the tightrope walk ^Between ~hope~ and ~worry~, we can ^Stabilize both ~as~ we ^Love every ~mode~ and distortion in others and ourselves while they ^Function in us.  Every ~mode~ has a ~purpose~ so ^Prefer any ~mechanism~ that ~helps~ us to ^Work in ~hope~.  Although we may ^Mistake its ~source~ or ~benefit~ ^Still it may ^Grant ~immunity~ in ~mind~ and ~body~ in ~accord~ to our ~need~.
