Ninth day of Christmas, ninth blog post.
I was struggling with finding a topic for today and asked Daniel again.
I found the suggestions that he came with somewhat silly, like “what does hope taste like or sound like?”
And then I started thinking. Does hope have a sound?
No it doesn’t; it has many sounds.
The sound of the phone ringing when you are expecting a phone call from a loved one, and hoping it is them calling. The sound of the ring tone, when you are calling and hoping the one in the other end will pick up – or maybe not pick up if you are scared of the call. The sound of a slot machine, when you are hoping for the big win. The sound of a key in the door; of footsteps, laughter… They can all be sounds of hope.
What does hope sound like to you?

No I don’t – that sounds really interesting 🙂
