Very nice article Harley. I enjoyed it but at 91 and on Hospice I will just enjoy yours and still might write a poem or two, but I am afraid my creative ability has been used up. Best to you as you keep at it.

Hello Harley, nice essay. Good question: what gives me hope, where does it come from? I believe in The One who believes in me. According to Him, I'm a work in progress, and always will be. He's promised that the best is yet to come, if not in this life, in the next.

As for writing, what keeps me going is the desire to improve, to produce something that others will find inspiring, entertaining, enlightening, humorous, or worthwhile for some other reason. One of the things that helps me improve is reading good work by others such as yourself, Harley. I love your poems, story poems, and essays. Keep up the good work!
