Why
Friends Stay in Touch
Herbs
Steeped
Tisanes
Peppermint
After
the sun’s set
After
the week’s work has ended
While
reading another chatty letter from a friend
Who
moved away, how many years ago? (now that I think about it, it’s more than
ten);
We
keep meaning to get together but life’s complicated and our schedules don’t
seem to match up for a shared time and place or a shared when,
Which
is completely understandable since after receiving a truly superb job offer in
his field (the rise and fall of large mammals during and following the most
recent ice age) he packed up and moved to England;
But
I have an affection for our correspondence via the ancient practice of letters
which I read and re-read on Saturday nights with my cup of tea to keep me
company as I carefully reply to his observations while adding my own along with
highlights from the days of my life, which I sign with my favorite pen, fold
with care, stamp, and send.
