Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is the thing with feathers” has always resonated with me. I made my students memorize it because I told them they might need it on sad days. Those days come and go for all.
A quote from this poem has been referenced on my FB profile from the day I joined. One of my all time favorites. That and e.e. cummings ‘I carry your heart’
Hope is my superpower. It became so after my son disappeared. It was either that or believing the lies of fear. I prefer hope.
Me, too, Tizz!
PS I've loved this poem since childhood. Thanks for sharing it again today. I do so enjoy your posts.

Thank you Diane!
I often find that as we work to improve the quality and dignity of life, often beset by overwhelming consequences, we ride on the wings of hope.
Emily Dickinson poetry is a perfect reminder -and thank you.
Thanks—my students loved Emily!
Excellent choice & reminder, especially for these times-Thank You, Diane!
Thanks—I could have written clearer to indicate there are 2 kinds of people. The hopers and pessimists!
One of my all time favorites-thank you for reminding me. 💖

Birds of a feather is a cliche that seems best here❤️
