Emily Dickinson - I Dwell in Possibiliy PDF Print E-mail
Written by Paul Anderson-Walsh   
Wednesday, 04 October 2006

Tracy s excellent blogg entitled Plato in which she reflected his quotation that, One can easily understand a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." put me in mind of something that Emily Dickinson  wrote:

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.

 

Sadly, many of us do not live in possibility we choose instead to live in a place called scarcity literally scared-city the place of lack.  We perceive only what the mind has been programmed to receive, and worse still our awareness is restricted still further as we only recognise things which fit our existing plausibility structures.  Thus we only acknowledge shapes, concepts and ideas that are consistent and cohere with our existing paradigms and fit neatly within our mental maps.  Anything that presents itself to us from outside of that rigid sphere is soon yes butted out of our orbit.

Today, six years after I last drank the Kool-aid of legalism my mind is gradually awakening to the divine possibility; instead of my flesh driven goals I have come to recognise the limitless nature of the divine possibility seeing the context with the eye of faith and simply allowing my life in Him to unfold in me.   I write at a time when I am conscious of a profound metamorphosis that is taking place inside of me.  For so long a caterpillar of scarcity I am beginning to feel my wings sprouting that will fly me to the place of endless possibility
