The past two years have been an incredibly challenging time for us all. As S.A. Sachs once said, “Hope rises like a phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams.” Amidst these moments of tragedy and change, there has also been an opportunity to find hope.
Adria L. Dunn sought out the most inspiring people on Earth to share messages of hope with the world. She felt the arrival of the global pandemic was a pivotal moment in history when every one of us became united by a virus that didn’t care about status, location, political or religious affiliation, skin color, or gender. It taught us we cannot succeed without the cooperation of others, and how we all suffer to some degree. She created The Vine, a collection of 47 letters from people all around the world such as the Dalai Lama, Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Edith Eger, Rick Hansen, Peter Hillary, and Djimon Hounsou, among many others. Some have experienced losses due to war, accidents, natural disasters, and tragedy, yet they all have one thing in common: the ability to find hope even in the darkest of moments. The Vine is a guiding light reminding us to keep moving forward, that we are all connected, and to never lose hope.
