Journal 3 of 6: these spades of spades represent abundance. “In spades” and sit on an Emily Dickinson poem. Emily Dickinson is considered one of the greatest American poets, yet her poetry was published posthumously. Her poetry was found by her sister in a box under her bed entirely written on scraps of paper. Her father was an attorney, fresh sheets of paper were available to her...what motivated this choice? Urgency? A sense of unworthiness? This stanza: “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul...and never stops at all”. Coincidentally (or not) Emily Dickinson is my mother’s favorite poet.� Photo credit @horaciosalinasphoto
