In an 1870 letter to her editor and longtime correspondent T.W. Higginson, Dickinson wrote, “that it will never come again is what makes life sweet.” The famously reclusive poet understood that to experience peace in life we must seek out simple pleasures, and find gratefulness for the small joys we might easily take for granted.
