We often refer to and experience Hope as something that we find or give. In the noun form of the word – as if hope is something outside of ourselves that we come across.
What if we change our relationship to hope and experience it as a verb – something that is embodied within ourselves and which we practice? What if we relate to hope as something that we do – which it is!
