MaineWorks: Post circle many are waiting for transportation to the job site.
MaineWorks can be found at the intersection of despair and hope. And this little circle weighs heavily on the side of hope. Hope is not always gregarious and chummy. Rarely does it whack you on the back in welcome, especially when the mad dog of addiction still sniffs at your heels. Hope can be quite innocuous and almost silent. It can emerge as some sense of traction. Some forward movement no matter how simple. Hope can be found in the grace of simply showing up, especially in early recovery.
And we flock toward the light and warmth of that understated whisper.
This circle defines that rim, that edge between the darkness of despair and the light, even if it is wobbly and weak, of hope.
