There is no doubt in my mind but that we are all seeking some form of wisdom in the best way that we can, through any means which are available to us. That wisdom could be the highest plane available, on the meaning of Life, on Truth, Justice and Virtue, or it could also be…

I think it fair to say that any move toward something new is tough to begin with, in taking up the final thread in your letter. We all stand at the base of a long ladder whose top is, perhaps, shrouded in the mists of uncertainty, and are not sure whether to climb, or remain…

Even before I really get down to the pleasure of writing a reply, there is something that has been plaguing me, has been bothering my mind since I read your letter on Saturday, and it is best described as an intense feeling of disappointment. Letter writing is such a personal action, where a single friend…

Sitting at my small writing desk, surrounded by a wealth of inspiration in book form, and the experience of years within my mind, my thoughts turned recently to the idea of the generation gap, and how difficult it must be for those considerably younger than ourselves to set themselves in front of a blank sheet…

I envy you. You might think that this is a very strange way to begin a letter to anyone, and especially to a person the writer does not even know, but it sums up my feelings in a far better manner than a longer sentence could ever manage, although I am, of course, the only…

We often seek out those who we can relate to, those who have similar interests, experiences, a life-style that…

One of the fascinating aspects of a written friendship is that we often have no idea of the person we are talking with. They are an image within our minds, and we slowly build up an impression of what they might look like based upon our own ideas, the words and expressions they use, the…

I’m not sure that I fully understand, or appreciate, the passage of time and the effect it has on our lives, on our emotions and on our perception of what is happening around us. It seems almost as if it were yesterday that I last sat down and wrote a letter, that I last concentrated…
