Tell all the truth but tell it slant
By Emily Dickinson
Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —
A powerhouse of sweetness and connectivity, a nearly-retired colleague of mine recited this from memory in a meeting last week, and it has been sticking with me ever since. She thought of it in light of the fact that our work is always emerging - that there is no eternal right way to do our work. Love it.
