Hope Is Born

Scroll down to see more content

This is a story about hope. Hope that there is a better and brighter future for all of us right around the corner. Hope that the intense chaos and unrest in the world today will form a world where love, peace and justice are the very foundations upon which this new world will exist.

Yesterday it was hot here. Very hot. Contemplating on going for a walk despite the 89°F [31.6C] I saw on my outdoor thermostat, I made up my mind. Yes I was going for a walk. I chose some music to listen to in an attempt to get my mind off how hot it was.

I had several choices that day in which direction to walk while in the park. Following my heart, I followed my feet. Walking on the frisbee course I gazed contentedly about at the trees and the glimpses of the creek I saw through the trees. As I rounded a corner to my utter surprise I saw something totally unexpected. My heart jumped for joy!  For in front of my stunned eyes I saw a large group of young people just hanging out, with some standing on a bridge jumping off one by one into the creek to cool off.

I stopped to talk to these young people. What a delight they were! I discovered they are high school sophomores and are friends. Talking and laughing with them, they at one point wanted me to jump into the water too. I threw back my head and laughed! I wish, I said! I told them no. I have a tricky back. That didn’t stop the begging. It took some convincing that no I wasn’t going to jump off that bridge.

So would all of you like to see proof that life is finally beginning to get back to normal? And that kids who are carefree and happy touched my heart so deeply that I asked them permission to take their picture to post on my blog? I told them I wanted the world at large to see what freedom looks like in the United States of America. I had them shout freedom when I took this picture of them. I shouted right along with them!

A picture to give you hope that this world really is a beautiful place.

I know these young people’s parents knew where they were for one of them, a spokesperson of sorts, took my information (very responsible of him!) so that his Mom could see this post. Mom of Mr. Spokesperson, I want to thank your son and his friends for giving not only me a huge spark of hope, but so many others too. Bless you from the bottom of our hearts.

*As for the young man who chose not to be in this picture stating he doesn’t like photographers, when you see this post, know all photographers do not have a hidden agenda. As you saw me, that is who I AM. I stand for peace and do not lie.*

This world needs hope and that and that only is what this post is about. I will delete any comments that are derogatory of nature or negative in any way.  If you don’t agree how these young people were acting, please keep that to yourself. It is more then time that “We The People” of the world come together in love to build one another back up so that we all can move forward as ONE into a better world.

History is in the making …. and change to the magnitude that is happening today is not pretty at first. Freedom is at hand ….

  4. Our future in the making Amy. One of them will find a cure for covid-19, another will be a truthful politician, and another will be that magic angel that you see forever helping others regardless of themselves.
    But regardless, each and every one of them will become more loving each step they take. Isn’t that just worth it all as they bring about that change we all hope for? 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

    1. Mark, that is exactly what I told them and they listened, really listened to what I was saying to them. They are our future. They are the change this world needs. Their energy was so uplifting that it still is effecting me today. How their parents have raised these kids I so do respect! They understand we need change. As we together shouted “freedom” and “solidarity” I got covered in goosebumps. These kids are I believe the generation that will effect our world in a huge way. Yes everything that is transpiring now is meant to in order to pave the way for this generation. They truly are star-children! I’m covered in goosebumps again!! Much love to you!! xo

  5. Wow and wow, Amy I loved your post and loved seeing the fun and frolic on these young people and you being with them too. Enjoy and have a blast. Have faith in God He knows what he is doing. Thank you for this awesome share.

    1. Kamal, I more or less told these kids and they did listen, that they are the ones who this country will rely on to bring about change. I taught some a new word …. solidarity. And when they understood what that word meant, most of them raised their arms and shouted, “Solidarity!” Their enthusiasm, their light, their happiness and yes their sincerity too, brought all of us together on such a huge high. To have these kids listen to what I was saying …. I was in awe! They KNOW we need change! And they are willing to show the way. I pray they do not get discouraged along the way. I praise their parents highly for bringing up these incredible kids the way they have! I haven’t seen this kind of G-rated fun since I was a kid. Oh for the JOY!! I’m still so effected from this group of young people!
      You are so welcome for this awesome share. I’m going to do all I can to get a LOT of people here to see this post. I also was not joking if anyone leaves a negative comment, I will delete it. This post is about HOPE!! Much love to you, dear friend!!! xo

  6. Beautiful photo of those kids!! Boy and they look really amazing and happy. I’m seeing similar things here on my walks on the river path – lots of kids in the water and hanging out! It is a wonderful sight to behold. You were meant to find them!! Makes my day! Much love, Donna

    1. Thank you, Donna, about that picture of those kids. They more or less arranged themselves without too much direction from me. I was stunned to see how perfect they looked as is. Their energy and their lightness still today is effecting me. I haven’t seen good old G-rated fun like this since I was a kid. OH FOR THE JOY! It sure seems I was meant to find them …. my heart just directed me and I followed. I wonder who will cross my path today on my bike ride? The other day on my bike I saw some high school seniors in their robes and so I stopped to talk to them. I supported them, high-fived them, told them it’s about time you are able to celebrate. They were so grateful to me for encouraging them. I just love these kids of today. Their light is SO bright and pure!! Happy days are here again! Much love to you!! xoxoxoxo

  8. Too bad about that young man not wanting to be in the photo. He had the kindest photographer in the world in front of him. I love the photos, Amy. My indication that normal life is returning is the traffic I’m in during the morning commute.

    1. I welcome that traffic, Rob, even if it can be annoying at times. It is a shame that so many photographers and journalists have created mistrust [REALLY?] yet I hope that young man sees my post and thinks not all photographers are created equally. I must say most of the kids accepted me and trusted me. I am seeing such a pure generation today and I so do believe it will be this generation that will bring about the most change to this world. I haven’t seen this kind of G-rated fun since I was a kid! Too bad I won’t be around to see the glorious change that I KNOW is coming. I’m doing what I can NOW! I am helping to prepare the way for the change. So much love to you this day, dear friend!!! (((HUGS)))! xoxo

      3. I hope that the dark fog will have passed soon and for good. Over here life has us back more or less but we are looking towards a great summer in which we even can go on vacation. I hope that the US is through the worst soon. Blessings to you and yours, Amy 💖

    1. I am truly sorry for your loss. I know what the loss of a parent is. BIG (((HUGS)))
      Social distancing will not be forever and in fact, it is dissolving in most states now. You believe and do what you believe and do. That is your right. My goal here with this post was to bring HOPE that better days lay ahead. xo

      2. I wish the very same. And as you can see, I did not delete your comment. I would not do something like that …. I understand your pain and your position why you believe what you do. When I said I would delete “negative” comments, I was referring to those who deliberately write harsh and mean words. I’m so focused on living HOPE and being HOPE that HOPE is actually coming to me in the form of high school kids. This is not the first “chance” meeting.
        I will keep you in my heart. It took me a long time to get over my Mom’s death. All I can say to you, with time the pain won’t be as acute. You are also not alone with nightmare stories that arose out of this viral mess. xoxoxo

      3. Thank you so much for the kind words, they are very meaningful. It’s been especially hard to process this loss because I live across the country and could only sit by helplessly. Still have not traveled home. My grief has definitely impacted my perspective, and certainly hope for the day when not one more person suffers from this disease. ❤

      4. Grief does things to our minds and actions that we never thought possible. I was not able to see my Mom before she died nor could I go to her funeral. I understand the helplessness and frustration and anger. I get it. My Mom died from a very aggressive cancer that literally ate her alive. I pray that some day a cure for all diseases will be found and suffering as we know it comes to an end. Please take good care of you and be gentle with yourself. May God and His Angels surround you and help you with your broken heart. xo

  18. Oh SUCH JOY!!! seeing these young souls as they should be.. Free enjoying themselves in the SUN… This is such a positive post Amy… It brought a huge HUGE smile to my face… Here the social distancing still in place.. Masks now being made mandatory on public transport yet it wasn’t in the beginning, Go figure! Keeping the fear going!…
    Schools were going to open to certain ages in the beginning of June… Opposition Politician leaders were ranting that is too soon…. Wait till September…
    Now local authorities and schools have said its impossible to open schools and keep social distancing they haven’t the room… Now the Opposition Politicians are accusing the government of WHY are the schools not opening in June…. Go figure that… They just say the opposite lol… Maybe that is why they are the Opposition hahaha…
    Any way Amy your Post and photo of those happy smiling young people is just what I needed…

    I posted my post and just got through answering my comments… Now I am going to watch a Time of the Sixth Sun update I missed…. You will understand when you visit next…

    Much love my friend.. Happy Sunny days to you.. ❤ ❤ ❤
