I Stepped From Plank To Plank

20 Comments Edit

"I stepped from Plank to Plank
A slow and cautious way
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

The poem could be my life lately, figuratively and literally. I ventured out on the dock the other night; stepping out in pitch darkness with only the stars casting some dim light on the planks and shifting water. I don't know why I wander these paths at night other than to feel the wind against my skin.

    This content seems a little melancholy, and wandering as well as wondering--pensive, and slightly anxious.

    Still wondering what to do regarding "The Rest of Your Life"? I think someone as clever and creative as you will never be far from something brilliant and wonderful.

    And if I'm totally wrong, oops. It sometimes feels nice to feel a bracing breeze wrapping up our legs tingling in the cold--the sensations bring us the truth. The utter feeling of being alive.

    PS. You conveniently post routinely around my morning coffee break. :)

    I feel like sometimes other people's writing explains how I'm feeling better than I can.

    Love the layered jackets. I do this with my leather vest and my leather jacket. Never thought to do it with a coat and a leather jacket! Will have to try it!

    And I love the mood of these photos. You have such a lovely blog!

    the top coat is so cool! I saw the same one but in yellow the other day, this green one is much nicer I think.

    the poem does seem a little melancholy...it could be like "walking the plank"
