It is hard to overestimate the importance of hope, even when going through the most dire of circumstances. Retaining our own spark.

As James Baldwin continues:

One discovers the light in the darkness, that is what darkness is for; but everything in our lives depends on how we bear that light. It is necessary, while in darkness, to know that there is a light somewhere, to know that in oneself, waiting to be found, there is a light.

How will we bear that light?
