Alongside the print version of Issue 2 of Flourish Magazine, The Connections Issue (available to view digitally here), we are releasing weekly digital content on the Artlift and Yes to Life websites, such as music, creative writing and blog posts.
This week our digital piece is a song by Maxine Wright Moore titled ‘New Hope’, which is accompanied by one of her paintings…
Maxine wrote about this song:
“Life seems to me to be an energy. When we are well, it seems to me that the energy between people is being exchanged positively. However, when people get sick, there often seems to be negative energy around. I wanted to concentrate on positive energy. I cut out anyone and anything that caused me stress. Having done that I forged new friendships and concentrated on positives. I got together with three other Leukaemia patients and we recorded a song devoted to our families, friends and all those who had helped us. It’s called NEW HOPE and is meant to uplift anyone going through Cancer or involved with a Cancer diagnoses in some way. You can hear the song here. I wrote it for *you* yes *you* and we sang it for *you* yes *you* so please have a listen.”
