A Dying Art

                                                                                         

There’s just something about writing a letter. You choose your finest pen, select your favorite stationery, and your mind kicks into high gear, trying to find just the right words to artfully express whatever it is you want to say.

There’s just nothing to typing an email. No matter how hard you try, it isn’t the same as composing by hand. You kick your mind into high gear, trying to find just the right words to artfully express whatever it is you want to say, but it is never as personal.

Writing a letter is intimate and caring, thoughtful and gratifying, fun and creative. Moods change with the urgency of quick strokes to the slow, careful, perfectly-created letters of a thoughtful passage. An email can’t show that. Handwriting always tells the truth, even if it’s a lie—an expert can read you from the page. Typed letters seem cold in comparison.

Receiving a letter is even better. You stroll to your mailbox, open it, and pull out bill after bill after advertisement until you see a creamy white envelope with your name carefully handwritten on the front. You smile, check the return address, and smile harder. You know that this person took time out of her day to sit down and compose something meant only for you.

An email just isn’t the same. You stroll to your computer, open your inbox, and amidst the spam and the work you notice a familiar name—a message from a friend. It makes you smile, but then you see “fwd.” You are just a name in a long, cold list of recipients. Feeling like a number, not a person, you frown slightly and press “delete.”

Taking the time to write a letter is a wonderful, beautiful way to show someone you care. Receiving a letter is a meaningful experience. So, lift your finest pen, select your favorite stationery, and sit down for a few minutes of calm and focus. You can create a work of art.
