Can you bear one more post about Emily Dickinson? (Can you tell that when I find a subject I like, I tend to stick with it for a while?)
Miss Dickinson was not a wealthy woman; nor was she particularly well-known during her lifetime. Her quiet and gentle words, however, make her come alive. She expressed love through her letters, which live on today.
"My letter as a bee, goes laden. Please love us and remember us. Please write us very soon, and tell us how you are ..."
Would you not love to receive such a lovely missive in your mail? Would it not be akin to finding a rose among a bush infested with thorns to find such a thing of beauty nestled among the bills and junk mail that comprise most of our mail?
Joy for today: send a flower of words to a friend.
She had a gift with words, and the wisdom to use them wisely. I'm coming awake to the importance of this. Aren't her poems like letters to us?
