Topic: Is There a Dark Side of Hope?
Is hope always a good thing? Is darkness always a bad thing? Can hope be a prison we choose to inhabit? Can darkness be a sacred place? Hope has a dark side in how it impacts the mind and for some, their behaviour. Unexamined, Hope can become a prison when it dominates your thoughts. Letting go of the hopes that harm, can create magic in your life!
Dawn (hopes) to challenge preconceived notions of hope and despair.
