Endagered Species: Pen & Paper

Writing letters used to be commonplace, but in today's world of e-mail, actual paper and pen are almost extinct. So, I took out my fountain pen and ink and wrote my sister a letter. The experience of holding the pen and slowly forming the script on the paper was meditative. Everything slowed down, enabling me to be more contemplative and present. I think sometimes, I'm in such a rush to get an e-mail sent that I feel as though I'm just stating the facts and sometimes, not well.

I'm going to take it upon myself to write, long-hand more oftten and allow myself to the luxury of a moment.  Perhaps, this process will put me back in touch, more regularly.  I'll be sure to let you know and invite you to join me.
For my sister, Claudia:
