“Hope is the only good god remaining among mankind, the others have left and gone to Olympus.” Theognis of Megara (Greek elegiac poet)
Something Good Sometimes life can be like a pair of stockings, or a favourite jumper, it all looks good and fits so well, until that one moment, a tiny, sharp snag snares a thread and begins to pull, slowly, then gathering pace as it goes. But just as Pandora took the lid from her father's box releasing curses and unpleasant things, there remains hope within the tragedy, that something good, even though as yet unseen, is hidden at the bottom.
