It’s that time again. The Regional Assembly of Text hosts their monthly letter writing club the first Thursday of every month. No need to sign up ahead of time. Everyone welcome. No cost. Supplies (and yummy treats) provided.

I’ll be sad to miss it. Instead I’ll be accompanying my stepdad to a father & daughter dinner at the Vancouver Club.

Inspired by this post, I plan to spend the next few evenings pen-in-hand.

I sent this quote to the Starbucks The Way I See It campaign today. It’s inspired by a letter written to Megan.

the other day i hand wrote a letter to my friend matthew in combermere. i knew the words would only be read once. only for my eyes and his.

it felt like something sacred.

sacredness can not be commercialized, blogged or sold. it can’t be purchased, traded or craiglisted. it is once. forever. present. living.

sacredness is the holiness of a moment slipping through our aching hands.

i think jesus would think letter writing parties are wonderful.

Ladies and Gents. Friends and lurkers. Let us unite.

At The Regional Assembly of Text’s Letter Writing Club.

This Thursday. 7 PM. 3934 Main Street, Vancouver.

Paper, envelopes, typewriters, tea, cookies & encouragement provided. Hoo-ray.
