Re" your program on Emily Dickinson. Someone highlighted a line in "Because I could not Stop For Death" the line was "we passed the fields of gazing grain" and said "what does that mean? No one knows." Oh sir, many of us know.

Perhaps one has to have the mystic temperament( as Emily did ) to understand the phrase. The intuitive knowledge that human consciousness is not the only consciousness.. Humans are seen and felt by all of creation because we are not separate. We interpenetrate. We are observed as well as observers. I adore the idea of a field of grain gazing at me as I pass.

p.s. I am an actress and have performed as Emily hundreds of times in "The Belle of Amherst" I recited this very poem to a tour group in her bedroom one time, many years ago. I am 70 years old now and retired...but over a period of 23 years I was privileged to share and channel Emily's soul which is essentially all our souls.
