Emily Dickinson

I started reading Emily Dickinson. Thanks to Jen, who has created an awesome collection of Dickinson's poems combined with her own wonderful pictures. Always look forward to her posts. The pictures are very well chosen and she passes the joy of her reading on to others. Thank you!
Here is the link: Syllables of Velvet
My favourite is 1165.

Thank you for introducing us to Syllables. I had left Emily behind with my teenage years.

It's so nice to "visit" with her again.

This blog is dedicated to my friends who live in different parts of the world. With most of them I just share general information about what happens in my life. Yes, I got a job. Yes, I moved to another city. Yes, I am fine. This is just not enough to provide information about real little things that move and change our character in everyday life. Although that is exactly what we need to keep up our connections. On this blog I would like to share my pictures, recipes, music and book recommendations, you know all this Anna-stuff, and hope you will like it.
And of course we will stay friends forever and one day I will invite you to a huge, great graden party, and we will have fun, and you will have to eat all my canned food, and the cookies (if you like them or not). You know me, I will do that.

Maybe for a very selfish reason M. Kundera described in the novel “The Identity”:

“Friendship is indispensible to man for the proper function of his memory. Remembering our past, carrying it with us always, may be the necessary requirement for maintaining, as they say, the wholeness of the self. To ensure that the self doesn’t shrink, to see that it holds on to its volume, memories have to be watered like potted flowers, and the watering calls for regular contact with the witnesses of the past, that is to say, with friends. They are our mirror, our memory: we ask nothing of them but that they polish the mirror from time to time so we can look at ourselves in it.”

But I also encourage you to use me as a mirror as well.
