Dum Spiro Spero
[While I breathe I hope]
A somewhat sombre motto
But while we breathe we can indeed hope
Of course the concern for breath
Has never been far from our mind
Throughout the world-wide pandemic
And the need for hope has coloured
Our thinking and attitudes
But while maintaining breath is one thing
Maintaining hope is quite another
Mind you, without breath we have little hope
But without hope is breath worthwhile?
Yet while we breathe I am reminded
Of the positive attitude embodied
In the sentiment which has sustained us
Namely let’s keep Hoping, Helping and Hinging
Thegither!
Ken Fisher
See that poem here:
Hoping, Helping, and Hingin Thegither
Beautifully sombre. And I learned a new Scottish word at it. Let’s hope thegither.
