I've been thinking about that a lot lately at the same time that I keep introducing new media into my life. So I may have started tweeting, but now I have a painter friend who sends me snail mail letters, and I love it. We're pen pals--something I haven't done since university days. Graham blogs, but he also writes letters on paper. Lucky me.
This week, all it took for me to get into a travel head was a $20 day trip to Philadelphia on the Chinatown bus. I wrote a letter to Graham as I rode the bus. Very meditative--looking out the window and writing about trying to achieve a state of ego-less nothingness.
And when I got to Philly, I was happy to see that even though the Philadelphia Inquirer daily newspaper is in bankruptcy, you can still buy the paper.
And just across the street from Independence Hall, I learned that you can still get a cheesesteak sandwich in Philly.
Some things never change.
I want to do that! Where did you go when you got to Philly?
ReplyDeleteI also have a letter writer friend and since the internet has sprung up our correspondence is so lacking, i am ashamed...she sticks to her pen!
