Letters

"Because sending a letter is the next

 best thing to showing up personally 

at someone's door. Ink from your pen

 touches the stationary, your fingers

 touch the paper, your saliva seals the 

envelope, your scent graces the paper. 

Something tangible from your world travels

 through unknown machines & the hands 

of strangers, and it deposits itself in another's 

mailbox; their world. Your letter is then carried 

inside as an invited guest. The paper that 

was sitting on your desk, now sits on another's. 

The recipient handles the paper that you 

handled. Letters create a connection

 that modern and impersonal forms of 

communication will never replace."

And then her heart changed, 

or at least she understood it;

 the winter passed, 

and the sun shone upon her. 

now come home.

be here.

i miss you.
