One of the quiet joys of letter writing is discovering how connected we really are—across miles, seasons, and ordinary days. These are small moments shared by pen pals near and far: thoughts scribbled in the margins, postcards sent on a whim, words written simply because someone cared enough to write them down. What you’ll see here are fragments of those exchanges—never private, always shared with permission—offered as reminders that slow connection still matters.
