With a (blink) and a smile

so today is, quite possibly, a new day.  new experiences, new air -- new life.  yesterday, as those who are probably smartest, is yesterday.  today i see reluctance in starting anew.  but today i see a possibility for something new.  something fresh.  i'm not exactly sure what it is, or how it fits, or what it will even look like.  but today feels different.  and difference can be good.  of what value is this ... reality ... without love.  love changes everything.  love endures, and captures, and helps, and is hopeful.  maybe if we're encouraged to love more fully, then maybe being more hopeful isn't such a bad thing.  but what hope is based on concrete reality?  promises that were made from days past -- from ancient days.  one could hold out hope for those.  however, what about the hopes and dreams of a man today who is scared and sideways and little and small?  how is he to know whether his hopes are based on anything at all?  i say keep out hope for something.  maybe he is right -- maybe there is a turn that i've missed along the way.  maybe i didn't see a road sign that would lead me to my destination more fully and more quickly.  maybe, just maybe ... it has been staring me in the face this whole entire time.  or perhaps not.
