What was the last letter you sent?

Coincidently, I have been thinking a lot about letters lately - the topic is coming up repeatedly  in interesting places, which makes me think more about it of course. I have always loved to write letters - I often write long letters to a few close friends, and to my family, who is spread out all across the world at the moment.  He pointed out to me that my letters to him were like a conversation - that it felt as though I were sitting in the room talking to him not just him reading the letter that I had sent. He also pointed out to me that my letters were sometimes a conversation that I was having with myself - the ideas, thoughts etc that are top of mind, and that need to be articulated, witnessed and heard - not just by the person who the letter is to, but by me as well... to understand myself a little better. I often think back to eight years ago, before I had a computer and access to the internet, and how letters were the main, and in some cases only means of communicating with certain people in my life (and if I think about it, the main way that I used to communicate with myself). Recently, I set an exercise along these very lines for the Diving Deeper writing workshop and the writing as spiritual practise board. The exercise was simple - keeping in mind the idea that the letter can be a conversation with your higher self, write a letter to yourself or to your higher self  (or from your higher self, God, The Universe or whatever/ whoever inspires you) - just write whatever comes up. The idea for the exercise is to become open, go deeper into the idea of communication with yourself and the Self... This was the last letter that I wrote. A letter to God, from me.  The next day, by the way, I learned that I had to send in my laptop to be fixed, and spent the next week writing by hand again - continuing the letter....:-)
