– Nathaniel Hawthorne –
Later that night
I held an atlas in my lap
ran across the whole world
and whispered
Where does it hurt ?
It answered
Everywhere
everywhere
everywhere

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody
is to trust them.

And you’ll always love me won’t you?

No

It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light …

“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 machines and hands, and 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.”
