Quote Of The Day 09.19.25
“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.”
– Emily Dickinson
– Emily Dickinson
This beautiful line from Emily Dickinson reminds us that hope is light, delicate, and persistent—like a bird that never quite flies away. Even in the hardest seasons of life, hope has a way of quietly sitting with us, reminding us that brighter days are still possible. And often, it doesn’t take much to spark it: a phone call from a loved one, a kind word from a stranger, or even the simple sight of a bird outside your window on a tough morning.
I think back to a time when life felt especially heavy, and I leaned on music to get me through. A new song from a group I love spoke about how it’s okay to take a pause, and those lyrics carried me through that season. They reminded me that slowing down wasn’t giving up—it was giving myself space to heal and keep going with hope.
