Toddler Wisdom

This in from Madeline:

"Leave your mind alone and your projects will go away."

And the Dickinsonian oracle pronounces:

I had a daily Bliss
I half indifferent viewed
Till sudden I perceived it stir -
It grew as I pursued

Till when around a Hight
It wasted from my sight
Increased beyound my utmost scope
I learned to estimate -
(E. Dickinson, 1029)
