I dwell in Possibility – (466)

BY EMILY DICKINSON

I dwell in Possibility –

A fairer House than Prose –

More numerous of Windows –

Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –

Impregnable of eye –

And for an everlasting Roof

The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –

For Occupation – This –

The spreading wide my narrow Hands

To gather Paradise –

Vesuvius at Home

#1705

Volcanoes be in Sicily
And South America
I judge from my Geography
Volcanoes nearer here
A Lava step at any time
Am I inclined to climb
A Crater I may contemplate
Vesuvius at Home


by Emily Dickinson

when she arrived on land, she said:

"I've got three messages: 
1. is we should never give up.
2. you are never too old to chase your dreams. 
3. is its never a solitary sport, it's a team.


As she put it, and what I take from it.... "Find a way."

Web in the Rain, poem with photos

Web in the Rain

Sometimes it takes the tears

of rain to reveal

the interconnected nature of the web

that touches the limbs of the family

tree to itself and the earth.
