The partly illustrated stories of Horatio Hope is based on the Seven Chakras in the human body and the ‘balls’ represent the energies of each. It is meant to show how hope is never lost and how compassion is always near. As we head to the end of the next decade (2010) there is a great need for faith to take the place of hope. For all things are possible, if only we believe. Horatio Hope lived in the Land of Dreams on an island in the middle of the Lake of Tranquillity with his friends Jimmy Joy, Leo Laughter, Suzy Smiles, Gertrude the Gentle, Harry Happy, Barry Bright and others of like kind, as well as his closest friend, Clara Compassion.
