Hope

A friend asked me out to lunch several months back. He is in the solar business. Anyone in that business frequently finds themselves questioning what to heck they are doing.

He had read my writings and my books, and he wanted to know where my hope comes from. I don't remember what I told him, but I do know what I feel right now.
