About This Newsletter


I dreamed a dream of peace,
A time when war would cease,
I looked across the Earth,
Saw none who suffered dearth,
Saw everyone content,
Able to pay their rent.

In this vision of hope the Earth was one country,
Humanity, the leaves and the fruits of one tree
All living together in love and harmony.

I heard a fervent voice ringing
Like ten thousand angels singing
Proclaiming a new day's dawning
With humanity united
As citizens of the planet:
While I watched a new age unfold
The voice continued proclaiming
A new heaven and a new Earth,
Human dignity unblighted,
The torch of liberty lighted
And shining across the planet
Encouraging enlightenment.

Letter from the editor

A New Year always brings new hope. It doesn't matter what happened in the old year. Even when world-encompassing problems are still present and increasing, the New Year brings new hope to those who have a vision of hope. The New Year also brings hope to those who know where their hope lies.

Many of us find hope in our spiritual path. We find it in the scriptures of our religion. We find it in the individual who revealed that religion. Others find hope in volunteering for organizations that help the hungry, the homeless, the sick, the aged, or immigrants.

Where do you find hope? I find hope in Baha'u'llah and the sacred writings of the Baha'i Faith. Each time I read or recite a prayer revealed by one of the Central Figures of the Baha'i Faith, my hope is renewed. I also find hope in the discoveries of science, especially the sciences of medical, astronomy, and paleontology. To name just a few.

Do you have a vision of hope? I stated my vision of hope in the poem at the beginning of this newsletter. What is your vision of hope? What is your vision of hope based on? My vision of hope is based on the sacred scriptures revealed by Baha'u'llah.

How do you express hope in your poems and stories? I express my hope in poems, blog entries, and essays. Do you have a specific genre you use to write about your hope? It's a New Year, please let me know about the ways you renew your hope for humanity, the world, and yourself.
