Every so often, I remember why I have all these strange bookmarks taking up space on my Firefox Toolbar… I was saving them to share with you! Sunday seems like a good time for that, so let’s get on with it.

Ok, I admit it. When I first saw the title, Happier.com, I cringed.
Oh joy, I thought. Another fluffy-duffy-sunshine-rainbows-and-unicorn site that’s going to chirp affirmations at me. But when I checked it out, I was *very* pleasantly surprised… that alone made me happier, so the site has already fulfilled the promise of its name !

Emily … on The Brain
The Brain is wider than the Sky,
For, put them side by side,
The one the other will include
With ease, and you beside.The brain is deeper than the sea,
For, hold them, blue to blue,
The one the other will absorb,
As sponges, buckets do.The brain is just the weight of God,
For, lift them, pound for pound,
And they will differ, if they do,
As syllable from sound.
-Emily Dickinson
Complete Poems. 1924.
