This poem by Emily Dickinson relates to me in a way that recognizes that art is only what we can interpret and express what we see, hear, and feel from nature. And to those whom we’ll never meet that might encounter our art, know that we are the messenger.
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
Emily Dickinson
