Dwelling

by Jennifer on March 18, 2011

What are you dwelling on?

Merriam Dictionary defines dwell as “to keep the attention directed.”

Where is your attention? Is it on the scale or your life? Moreover, is it on the pounds lost or the joys gained?

Is it on consuming everything or just enough?

Are you dwelling in wellness or perfection?

I dwell in Possibility–
A fairer House than Prose–
More numerous of Windows–
Superior–for Doors–

Of Chambers as the Cedars–
Impregnable of Eye–
And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky–

Of Visitors–the fairest–
For Occupation–This–
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise–

~Emily Dickinson
