There is hope.

It is probably something we have to nurture and maintain in our own mental universe.

But until something is beyond the realm of possibility, then it is possible to say, completely truthfully and without necessarily feeling optimistic about the outcome:

There is hope.

And after the presence of hope is established we are free, if we choose, to work towards making that hope a reality, as much as it is within our power to do so.

I hope you dance.
