If You Dare to be a Poet

George Eliot said it best: “To be a poet is to have a soul so quick to discern, that no shade of quality escapes it, and so quick to feel, that discernment is but a hand playing with finely ordered variety on the chords of emotion—a soul in which knowledge passes instantaneously into feeling, and feeling flashes back as a new organ of knowledge.”

Life may be crowded,

but if you dare to be a poet,

then…

It is daring us to be ourselves, in a world that asks for conformity, and compliance.

Writer G. Eliot also pokes us: Its never too late to be who you might have been.

That gives us hope, hope that we can become who we know deep down we are.
