    About this ebook

    I brace myself to cross the bridge

    outreaching from the rocky ridge

    on which I pause, as though in plight,

    perhaps impaired by fear or flight.


    Should I proceed with strong resolve,

    not knowing what that may involve;

    but blessings to all left behind

    and may this way to all be kind?

      ONE of my lecturers told us we shouldn’t rely on hope to get us through difficult times because it creates a false sense of security. I got it but I just can’t accept the idea that life without hope is better. So many stories in this edition show why
