Suitcases of Hope

This week, Lori had the opportunity to attend a lecture given by Nobel Laureate and Holocaust-survivor, Elie Wiesel.  Prof. Wiesel spoke at length on the nature of hope and despair, cautioning us not to despair when we look at evil and indifference in the world.   He stated that even our creative endeavors must be “with a purpose that appeals to hope.”    

Do you agree with this statement?  If so, how do your creative works, whether written or visual, inspire hope?   

Pack a suitcase to bring to the Blue Stockings meeting. Fill it with pieces that inspire hope and then share something from your suitcase at the meeting.

Or if you have a story, photograph, piece of art, or a poem that you believe inspires hope, please feel free to post it   (using the category  “BS 02.02.07″)
