What gets me about this poem is that the biggest shifts in our lives are traditionally those quiet internal moments — “here and now whether or not anyone hears it.”

The exquisite economy of Emily Dickinson’s deployment of syllables never fails to impress me. She’s unequaled in this regard (IMNSHO).

Kindness, faith, beauty …these things endure. To whom are we speaking when we pray? Ourselves? The Divine? Something we can’t define?
