I dwell in Possibility –

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 –

~ Emily Dickinson, a reclusive American poet.

“When someone tells you who and what they are, believe them the first time."

“When someone tells you who and what they are, believe them the first time. They know themselves better than you do. They know what they’ve lived. You don’t. You only see an exterior. And whether you choose to invalidate them or not then, is up to the person that ‘you’ are.” 

~ Maya Angelou, 
American memoirist, essayist, poet, and civil rights activist
