Nine

I stepped from plank to plank
So slow and cautiously;
The stars about my head I felt,
About my feet the sea.

I knew not but the next
Would be my final inch,--
This gave me that precarious gait
Some call experience.

-Emily Dickinson

I bought "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman and "The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson" this weekend. Best purchases ever. Its been a rough week, and whenever Im stressing out I grab one of those books and highlight my favorite verses. I seriously think I'm going to do that with all books from now on--something about 'lighting up' passages I like is therapeutic.

Hm just reread that and realized how nerdy I sounds

wow haha
