Drawing on hope

I tried to write a completely different blog post tonight, but it just wouldn’t come together. So I’m falling back on something from yesterday (or was it the day before?).

At any rate, it’s a song I’ve loved ever since I was young and it lifts my spirits during challenging times.

Walk on
Walk on
With hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone…

It’s from the musical Carousel, which is maybe the only Rodgers and Hammerstein musical that I couldn’t watch all the way through. I just couldn’t stomach the plot, but — oh my goodness! it had wonderful music. And this song is particularly pertinent in these times, when we need all the hope we can get.
