Back in January, I took a look around and saw what many of my friends were thinking: they lacked hope, and they feared for their friends, families, and themselves.<\/p>\n

So, to that end, I decided that I would kindle a Flame of Hope for all of them. Every day for the next four years, I would kindle a Flame of Hope and post it online, so that people could understand: someone saw them, someone was willing to listen, and someone was willing to be hold that light aloft.<\/p>\n

Rev. Melissa Hill<\/a> is, I think, an equal partner in this project: she has also been kindling this flame at her altar as long as I have (and has, in many ways, been a rock that has helped me continue this work).<\/p>\n

If you want to see how this whole Shindig of Hope<\/em> got started, you can check out the original blog post<\/a> over on the Three Cranes Grove, ADF<\/a>, webpage.<\/p>\n

Above are the images of the first twelve candles lit. The rest of these graphics will be available (roughly) monthly as part of my Multimedia Pass here on Patreon: you can always see each flame as it is posted daily at the Facebook Page for Tending the Flame of Hope<\/a>, but I’ll be posting the collages here as I create them, rather than to Facebook, for the foreseeable future (and frankly, I think they look pretty cool, all lined up like that).<\/p>\n
