optimistic state of mind

I walked along Silver Avenue and listened to a podcast about Ukraine. It did not put me in an optimistic state of mind. Then I saw the word “hope” painted on the sidewalk. Just reading the word gave me some comfort as the painter intended. My postcard for 02/25/22 is the word “hope” painted on the sidewalk at the corner of Silver and Harvard.
