This is a music video for the song Keep Hope Alive by Kier Lona. I packed a lot into this one song! I think our lifetime journey is like traveling from one deserted island to another. It can be very dangerous to travel from island to island. There's also no guarantee that the next island will be better. It may seem impossible to keep going, let alone to keep hope alive. This is especially true if we cannot see where we are going from where we are right now. We must trust ourselves and keep going with the loving kindness that is the hallmark of the spiritual warrior. The travelers, the people willing to work on themselves and love others, are the ones that keep hope alive, even in the midst of so much darkness within people and fear and hatred directed towards each other.
Keep Hope Alive is track 6 from the album Deserted Islands, released October 4, 2024.
