So many Taylor Swift connections...
Emily Dickenson in her lineage?

'Swift alludes to the Lake poets on her eighth studio album Folklore and speaks movingly of visiting William Wordsworth’s grave in her Long Pond Studio Sessions documentary. Swift commemorated Emily Dickinson with the release of her album Evermore on the poet’s birthday and Ancestry.com more recently posited that they share a lineage. Swift’s lyrics suggest a love for the novels of the Brontës and she has spoken effusively of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. Much has been rightly made of Swift’s fascination with Jazz Age novelists Fitzgerald and Hemingway, the Gothic writer Daphne du Maurier, and the poets Robert Frost and Dylan Thomas, among many others.'

OOOOps...Just noticed...
🙏😦🙏That should be Emily Dickinson...

an Emily Dickinson moment...

The above image was created with ChatGPT.

The phrase "I am out with lanterns, looking for myself" is a quote from a letter by the poet Emily Dickinson. While she used it to jokingly describe the chaos of moving and losing some belongings, it has resonated with many as a metaphor for an internal journey of self-discovery.

I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.

"Soul"

This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me —
The simple News that Nature told —
With tender Majesty

Her Message is committed
To Hands I cannot see —
For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen —
Judge tenderly — of Me

PASSING THOUGHT:
At holiday time,
I seem to seek a splinter or two of Emily Dickenson...
quite content to drift from thought to feeling...
I see worlds through the eyes of other travellers...
I explore random ideas...
I feel little compulsion to join crowds...

October is a mighty month...

Perhaps these quotes refer to autumn Octobers in the northern hemisphere, but my birthday begins October and I live in the southern hemisphere of spring worlds. So October symbolises my favourite month of my favourite seasons. pic.twitter.com/kuUqbzMwj3

sewing thoughts...

Here's a poem by Emily Dickinson and a review. Tickles my fancy because I feel the same way about sewing 🪡🧵 https://t.co/xo3SZutoBC

Sewing has never been a joy in my life, only a chore...sewing on buttons or hemming. That said, I did have a fling with tapestry + a little cross-stitch.
Knitting, however, has been my ongoing passion - but reduced to scarves + throws these days. Keen to explore other arts soon.
