Emily Dickinson quote (about hope)

Over and over again I am ‘blown away’ by the power of Emily Dickinson’s poetry.

Do you remember this one?

[I am sharing it as a silent tribute in honor of and as hopeful inspiration for a very special woman who has recently had uterine cancer surgery and will soon begin chemotherapy...]

HOPE is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,


[part 1 of XXXII, "Life"]

    I love the recent post on Emily Dickinson. The verse reminded me of one I’d read a long time back without an author’s name: “Faith is the bird that sees the light while the dawn is still dark.” Unknown

    You’re doing a great work in the world, Holly. I see you as one very incredible woman! Hugs!

    Thank you for the kind words, Donna.

    And, “ditto” back at you (including the hugs)! Readers, for a blog to enjoy (and worth frequent revisits — much to explore), visit Donna’s blog, The Nature In Us:
