A door just opened on a street--
I, lost, was passing by--
An instant's width of warmth disclosed
And wealth, and company.
The door as sudden shut, and I,
I, lost, was passing by,--
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery
I love the words of Emily Dickenson. She wrote poetry that broke the accepted rules of the time. She was a recluse. Yet she saw images and feelings about the world as if she had escaped the confines of her home.
I look at at Fresno's Fulton Mall like that door. It has opened fountains that have been shut off. It has a ballpark that provides wealth and company to baseball fans..It is becoming a center for events that draw crowds to its streets. I can see it once again becoming the charming center it once was. Go Fresno! It's time to open a door that's been closed and bring in the wealth and company!
