Faith in the heart
I am happy to see hope, because it shows the existence of faith. Without faith, one cannot hope because, to my mind, hope is an attitude evolving out of the inner faith in the heart. And the way hope is exhibited is in one's ability to wait. It is nothing but faith which gives patience, and I am therefore always happy to see hope featuring in abhyasis' letters. May your faith grow and grow.
