Sometimes I peer into that deep dark void and wonder what stories lay inside- words to family members and friends states and continents away- letters with weight, with love, with sympathy, with sorrow, with congratulations. Thoughts someone took the time to write down and send away for a price. Or perhaps just a phone bill. The intangible turns into something physical, visible, readable, and lasting. Of course, letter writing today isn't as common as it once was--but one can appreciate the pastime.
