What are letters to you?

According to the online world of quotes, American journalist Shana Alexander (1925-2005) once said:

Letters are expectation packaged in an envelope.

What do letters mean to you? Share a thought or two, and then go write a letter!

Letters are an intimate, fun way of communication, excited expectation, and a way of personal connection unmatched by email.

One of my favorites, from John Donne, "Letters mingle souls".

letters are a way of sending words, smells, a tangible piece of me to someone in a far away place.
When I hold a letter of someone who has passed it is as though I am holding a piece of them which is still alive.
Letters are shapes which we communicate with - and yet, they are so much more....
This is a lovely project which makes me stop, and rewind in my natural way of thinking - that is super healthy!
