Excerpt:
Do you know what hope smells like? Let me tell you…
First, I have to explain where I am. At the bottom of my small
garden is a gate. A plain wooden gate that needs one hinge fixed. Beyond the
gate are a few steps carved into a grassy bank. It’s down those steps that you
can reach the beach.
The Atlantic ocean pounds the centuries old cliffs, the rugged
shards of black rock snake their way into the sea and the course yellow sand
whips around my feet. I breathe in deeply. The smell of exposed seaweed and
salty air fill my senses. That is what hope smells likes.
For a long time there had been no hope. I was at the bottom of a
well, in the worst place I could be. I couldn’t see the light at the end of the
proverbial tunnel. I felt nothing but sorrow and sadness. And pain, so much
pain. It has been a long journey but I need to take you back a couple of years,
not quite to the beginning but to a pivotal point in my life. A time when I
thought everything was going to be okay, when I thought my life was turning
around. A time when I had plans and I believed I had the future I longed for.
But I was wrong. It’s only now that I have hope.
And what am I hoping for? A reply to an email I have just sent.
