SUMMARY:Hope
DESCRIPTION:Hope\nFriday\, October 16th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nIn times of change that are unprecedented\, anxiety-producing and far reaching\, it feels helpful to explore the edges and embodied experience of the verb Hope. \nHope Is Not a Bird\, Emily\, It’s a Sewer Rat \nby Caitlin Seida \nHope is not the thing with feathers\nThat comes home to roost\nWhen you need it most. \nHope is an ugly thing\nWith teeth and claws and\nPatchy fur that’s seen some shit. \nIt’s what thrives in the discards\nAnd survives in the ugliest parts of our world\,\nAble to find a way to go on\nWhen nothing else can even find a way in. \nIt’s the gritty\, nasty little carrier of such\ndiseases as\noptimism\, persistence\,\nPerseverance and joy\,\nTransmissible as it drags its tail across\nyour path\nand\nbites you in the ass. \nHope is not some delicate\, beautiful bird\,\nEmily.\nIt’s a lowly little sewer rat\nThat snorts pesticides like they were\nLines of coke and still\nShows up on time to work the next day\nLooking no worse for wear. \n  \n  \n
