To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

I'll tell you how the sun rose, a ribbon at a time.
The steeples swam in amethyst,
The news like squirrels ran.
The hills untied their bonnets,
The bobolinks begun.
Then I said softly to myself,
"That must have been the sun!
An ear can break a human heart
As quickly as a spear,
We wish the ear had not a heart
So dangerously near.
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears a Human soul.

We turn not older with years but newer every day.
Emily DickinsonA little Madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King.
Emily DickinsonHope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.

We never know how high we are till we are called to rise. Then if we are true to form our statures touch the skies.
