When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens.
Expectations Sometimes Floats
And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night

I think making things that aren't necessarily shiny, happy feelings, putting them in that environment is sometimes an easy way to deal with the ugliness. like, i know that as a kid, that i found - i think i learned this a bit from my mother - that if i could be as warm around strangers, no matter how strange or what different environment i was in, that people tended to be warm back.
