Nobody can tell you which one will work out. So you applied to all of them, returned every call, and met a stranger for coffee. Hope doesn't always feel like confidence.

"Not knowing when the Dawn will come, I open every Door,"
— Emily Dickinson
From the manuscript, c. 1884. We check every line against a primary source.

Dickinson couldn't picture the good news either. In the same poem she wonders if dawn arrives with feathers, like a bird, or in waves, like the shore. So she unlatched the lot.

The two short bars are a doorframe. The not-knowing sits right in the open gap, passing through.

Wear it on the days you're saying yes to everything.
