Letters

I can't really explain it.For some reason I have a hankering to send out some letters. The old-fashioned letters. You know: snail mail.When I'm talking about letters I'm not talking about computer printed paper, but written by my own hand.There's something personal about the connection. Me to the pen. The pen to paper. The paper to the reader. It's real. When I write I can see the emotion I have in the forms of the letters. The communication on a very raw and personal level appeals to me.

Some of this is from my love of writing (which seems strange by itself). Some is from watching documentaries like the Civil War where they read letters. Letters that convey to us what was going through the heads of the authors.The paper survives.
