Respair

You are laden with beginnings.
~Lola Ridge


Respair is an interesting 15th century word because it sounds like "despair repair" and that's basically what it means, too: fresh hope or recovery from despair.



These dancers were filmed the first time they heard "Respair" by Tiny Leaves:



One suggestion Jan Tucker makes in an article about overcoming daily despair is to collect ideas.
She says, "Determine the key issue you’re struggling with and find a high-quality resource to begin collecting ideas...Plenty of resources to address your problem are at your fingertips on the Internet, in a bookstore or library, at a local group meeting or Meetup, or a seminar."
Sometimes physical and mental health issues are the main source of the problem and in that case, you would want to add doctors and therapists to the mix.

Really nice song and the dance movements were very graceful and uplifting.

Finding resources/ideas is a great starting point to fighting despair...plus you can come in contact with others who are aware of what you're going through.
