Optimism is the ally we all need!
Right now, that is the force that will carry us forward.
“Are you asleep, Penelope, worn out with grief?
I do assure that the gods, who live such easy lives themselves, do not mean you to be so distressed, for it is settled that your son shall come home safe.
The boy has done no wrong in their eyes”,
said the phantom that Iphthime made, like herself and sent it to Odysseus’ palace to save the unhappy and weeping Queen Penelope, from more distress and further floods of tears.

Earlier today, I was talking to my ‘Bonus’ Ma and above extract came to my mind in our tittle-tattle.
As I anticipated, soon after my ‘always at work’ mind started wondering,
“Why exactly did this part come to my mind? Why today?”
Of course, the heartbreaking times we are breathing in right now played a part, a big one.
I feel like I am Queen Penelope right now and waiting for my phantom of Iphthime to give me the solace, and optimism; that better days are ahead of us.
Something to look towards and tell my heart, ‘This shall pass too!’
…
Globally, we are seeing a ‘shift’ towards rift-driven, hate-empowered, and disinformation boosted society where love seems to be taking a beating, rough one at that.
Not long ago, being the ‘atheist’ that I was I would have ridiculed any suggestion that ‘it is all a grand plan’ by a higher power.
Today, with a slight shift in my own sense of the world, I believe there is a bigger ‘blueprint’ in action, and I fall back on my ‘Universe’ Science of Balancing’ thinking, that things are going to improve.
Love will regain its strength and hearts will warm up again.
I do not know if generation before me, or my generation will see what my heart seeks so miserably; yet with a familiar sense of undying optimism that has always lifted me up in darkest of times, I remain optimistic.
…
Many of us, are not speaking ….
either we are lost, or in shock, or continuous disbelief …
or scared, or a mix of most or all those sentiments.
Every empath heart is broken right now and shattering further into shards of pain that only we can understand.
Yet, we will carry on …
some will still celebrate festivities, some will not.
Many will still work hard on their ambitions; others will struggle to face every new day.
It is not the most motivating phase of humanity that we are in.
YET
Optimism is our strongest ally, weapon and armour.
It is also our core strength and the light at the end of the tunnel.
We must keep it alive, in ourselves and in those around us.
For, the sun will rise again, and I am here for it …
Whether or not I get to witness it, I am going to be here for it.
Now, and beyond, the unknown.
…
May we all give power to love within us for it to give us power from within.
…
XOYOX
