bundle of hope

"You know what the great thing about babies is?

They are like little bundles of hope.

Like the future in a basket."

- Lish McBride

I love these little people;

and it is not a slight thing when they,

who are so fresh from God,

love us.

-Charles Dickens

the hesitant, expectant season

“...it was the season of light,
it was the season of darkness,
it was the spring of hope,
it was the winter of despair.” 
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

“Spring is the time of year 

when it is summer in the sun 

and winter in the shade.” 

― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
