Thinking on this today:

…a human being protected from all normal and natural hardship

simply is not alive.

Great quote, Amy! I’ve been preparing for a talk I’m giving at a Mum heart Conference & an idea I’ve been mulling over is captured in that quote.

Never be without a good book…

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 the Human Soul –

~Emily Dickinson

He ate and drank the precious words,

His spirit grew robust,

He knew no more that he was poor,

Or that his frame was dust.

He danced along the dingy ways,

And this bequest of wings

Was but a book. What liberty

A loosened spirit brings!

~Emily Dickinson
