~ Speranza is the Italian word for Hope. Speranza of Hope appeared suddenly like a beacon from a lighthouse. The beacon arose brilliantly from a single cloud in the shape of a horse. Not any horse this was Speranza! from folklores and fairy tales. The storm had turned day into night. A precious herd of baby horses were lost in the canyons and the thunder and lightning had them very scared. Just as we at times of our lives are lost, scared and need Hope so did the lost horses. Speranza was their Hope. The storm rumbled. In the time it takes to sneeze a loud clap from the clouds occurred. It sounded as if 2 lids from cooking pots were being slammed together by really strong elephants. KaBoom!!!! Wow, now a blinding beautiful daybreak light occurred engulfing the entire horizon. The tiny horses could see. They ran. Little cute, playful horse sounds echoed the canyons now. Where silence was before the noises now were joyful and full of hope. The echos of tiny hooves could be heard like music. The sounds became loud for in a blink of a eye the tiny horses soon were united with the rest of the herd. Safe, joyful and hopeful. All they had to do was look. So next time you need a glimmer of hope, Look up! Speranza just might be in a cloud to instill a bright beautiful ray of Hope your way too. ~ it has been said that With Hope, All things are Possible! ~
