In this short life
That only lasts an hour
How much how little
Is within our power.
E. Dickinson
This is one reason why I love working at a University. I walk around, see intelligent, inquisitive, beautiful people and some of them inscribe holy writings like this on their clothing.
This young lady was kind enough to lift her hood and let me take this photo. I hope she doesn’t mind my sharing it with the rest of you.

That is an awesome shirt. Did she make that?
I’m thinking I should take another look at Dickinson. Haven’t paid much attention to her since my undergrad poetry classes.

I do like shirts with sayings on them, but often I find that they’re done tackily—this one is beautiful!
