The Theory of Everything

With the passing of Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA; this past week, we decided to watch Eddie Redmayne  take on the role  in the movie, 'The Theory of Everything'. I knew it would be moving and touching with glimses into his state of mine and sense of humour but what I did not expect to see what his vulnerable side so plain and open.


How he dealt with losing the ability to do the basic functins , that many consider 'easy'  and 'normal' he was denied at such a young age. However, it did not deter his ambition nor his spirit . His belief in ' where there is life, there is hope' resonated quite loudly with me. Hope is something we assume for people in turmoil and trouble.  Hope seems to be for those that are most destitute and have only that to cling to.

Hope can be a helper for anyone living a normal life, with no troubles , turmoils or terrible circumstance.  To have a boring life.... might be the biggest blessing you could ask for... and one that many people hope for.

So hope away, and hope for  and hope in each moment that you can . That moment will pass but the hope persists...
