A hopeful thought[s]

Trenches dug deep, remnants of an unfinished task, unkept promises and long lost whispers fall with a thud, raising a fine layer of dust, as hairs on the back of ones neck rise in anticipation. Wiping the slate clean, redrawing the boundaries, re-chalking the parts to tread on, only till where the eye can see. The chance to plough the field and sow new seeds into the earth as the ensuing hard work and sweat beats the brow, a plentiful harvest the hopeful dream to reap.

I stand here, a hopeful, expressing my hopes…
I hope I continue believing in David
I hope David doesn’t continue to be the training camp for freshers to learn the tricks of the trade and run their own shows elsewhere
I hope we feel more like the family we claim to be.
I hope justice prevails.
I hope as a Client servicing person my job profile doesn’t spell, collecting prints, haggling for monies, chasing layouts and artworks.
I hope the great wall of David, which to me is not the wall on which we share our thoughts and ideas, but the very real wall between servicing and creative crumbles.
I hope clients are not our masters and we their underpaid genies.
I hope the more ‘systems in place’ that we always talk about find their place in David.
I hope we collectively pool our innate talents and energies to make David a little part of everyone.
I hope I am not hoping in vain.

All this said there is the side to David that I hope we don’t lose out on!

I hope we look past marketing jargon and see organizations as individuals, rather than revenue figures
I hope we don’t cut the umbilical chord that has nourished us and help us grow for so long.
I hope we don’t decide to give David a premature death, when David has still a lot of spunk left.
I hope we realize sometimes good things do come in small packages and I hope we don’t rubbish them in the hope of the bigger package.
I hope David stays alive, stays strong, and stays young and sure-footed.
I hope we don’t just land up playing the game…especially the game we don’t want to play.
I hope we learn to enjoy the intimacy David has to offer and I hope we can see the good tighter bonds brings.
Again I hope I am not hoping in vain
