My Dearest
Friends, You, You, You, and You!
I have so many
dear friends who I visit daily in my mind though we now live far apart.
I cannot even
begin to tell you how much I miss seeing you, enjoying our conversation,
laughing, sharing stories, living together with you in my life, thinking of us
two united as it is to think of a single one individual, indivisible person.
I feel our
constant connection, no matter how long we have been apart, no matter how many
miles separate us.
We do more than
share this planet, we share the inner space within us we call home.
To know that you
last sent me a letter by mail and I have not yet returned the favor, to give
you the same joy your letter gave me, is a torment. Your precious gift was a
tremendous fulfilling of my longing for concrete evidence of good in this
world, and I am grateful.
I have
stationery, I have pens, I have postage, I have time. What I do not have are
excuses for my neglect. If I spent half as much time actually writing to you
and putting the letter into the mail as I do thinking about you and our
friendship, you would be showered with letters, your mailbox overflowing with
evidence of my love.
Love,
Your Friend,
Forever and Ever,
Susanna
