A letter is so much more than just words on a page. It is an opportunity to connect to another living soul, an individual so unique that there is not another person like them on the planet.
As the words jump from the page, they twist and twirl, forming a connection and creating a version of the writer, that only the reader gets to enjoy. The inner thoughts and feelings of another mind, laid bare, so raw and honest. Thus providing an opportunity for another to truly get to know someone.
What a beautiful soul this one be!
I heard your voice
I felt your sorrow and your joy.
I travelled to your lands and seen the world through your eyes.
I am truly blessed.
Today I am grateful for the beautiful letter that landed in my mail box. It was a lovely surprise, that I am so happy to have enjoyed. Now I just have to find time to write back! Thankfully I should have time on the weekend to do this - Fingers crossed!
It seems like the art of hand written letters is dying out with email and texts replacing them. There's nothing nicer than penning a letter and receiving one too.
I got myself some pen friends about 40 years ago and I’m still writing to some of them, it’s a dying art but I still enjoy sending and receiving letters.
Very nice words to go with this. Must have been a very special person. with e-mail and other functions on the computer it is very rare to receive a letter by post nowadays.
