Monday Musings May 16, 2016

In politics it is said, that when not fueled by hope there is a vacuum for fear to fill. Since artists turn to the muses, Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania and Calliope we are exploring what they can offer us for inspiration to have the hope fueling politics.

“Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”
– Joseph Addison                                                                                                                                                           

“Hopeful thinking can get you out of your fear zone and into your appreciation zone.”
-Martha Beck
