Our correspondences show us where our intimacies lie.
There is something very sensual about a letter. The
physical contact of pen to paper, the time set aside to
focus thoughts, the folding of the paper into the
envelope, licking it closed, addressing it, a chosen
stamp, and then the release of the letter to the mail-
box- are all acts of tenderness. And it doesnt stop
there. Our correspondences have wings- paper birds
that fly from my house to your- flocks of ideas
crisscrossing the country. Once opened, a connection
is made. We are not alone in the world.
