Dread comes unannounced and then consumes our feelings with it’s irrational sense of gloom. Have you ever had the feeling of dread? I’m not talking about fear. Fear is immediate. Fear is what kicks in when you’re confronted with danger. A mother with a gun. A stranger in your house. I’m talking about dread.

Dread is persistent, it gnaws at you, you can’t ignore it, it just won’t go away. Because that’s what dread is, its worrying about something you cant do about. Dread can affect your job, or home, or alter your entire personality.

Hope like dread, it often comes unannounced. Then thankfully intoxicate us and inoculates our feelings and irrational sense of joy and optimism. Hope is the high, dread is the low. I guess life is the stuff in between.
