You are an artist with words, and I sometimes get the feeling you don't fully grasp the impact your visions of hope have on others. They say never say never, so try not to expect a short life. The body often mimics expectations, so best not to feed it bad ones.
I wonder if it is the case or the expectations are born from the body. It is an interesting thought that while we might feel that we think something into existence, it may all ready exists and our body is signalling our thoughts.
