to pull out a sheet of your hand-printed headed notepaper,
to write those first two words "Dear Friend",
and then to pause a while before letting the ink flow onto the page with tales of your doings and your worries,
to fold up the paper,
slip it into an envelope,
write the address out,
stick on the stamp,
drop it into the letter-box,
and then imagine the pleasure that your letter will bring,
the physical pleasure of opening it and reading it at the other end.
- ah, is this not happiness?
"To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart."
~~ Phyllis Theroux
