The Art of Letter Writing
Letter writing is becoming a lost art, putting an actual pen to paper and writing down our thoughts and ideas to share with someone else. Care is needed as there is no delete button when writing a letter and scratching out our mistakes doesn’t look pretty on the page. What we write may depend who we are writing to, someone we know well who we are able be informal with, more of a conversation between close friends. Or perhaps it may be a new pen pal someone we have never met in person which brings about a gentle dance between two people slowly getting to know each other through the exchange of many letters. Writing the first letter to someone we don’t know may leave us feeling vulnerable, shy and not knowing how much to share and how much to keep back for a future letter. No matter whom we write to, or the length of the letter it is a wonderful way to communicate. Perhaps it is time to slow down and revive the art of letter writing before it is lost forever. Please feel free to share, if you are so inspired. Picture taken and written by TC
P.S. I have covered the name of the person who sent me the letter in the picture and my address to respect both our privacy.
