Awaiting the train back across the border, as dusk falls
The Meadows,as the spring sun declines slowly, as if the western sky was a chaise longue to repose upon at the end of a day's work.

Getting lighter each evening now, amazing the difference in a week
Good morning.

I think back to my days in Vietnam, in 1972. I used to write letters to my grandmother—I still have them somewhere. Back then, calling home wasn’t really an option. A few months ago, I opened a couple of those letters and realized just how atrocious my handwriting was—more of a scrawl, really—and to top it off, my spelling wasn’t much better.
It’s been years since I last sat down to write a letter. With global telephone coverage, email, and texting, I suspect handwritten letters have become a rarity. Still, we’ve been lucky enough to receive a few letters from one of our granddaughters.
Funny thought—'kind of a scrawl, couldn’t spell at all' sounds like it could be lyrics in a country western song.
"In an age like ours, which is not given to letter-writing, we forget what an important part it used to play in people's lives." - Anatole Broyard
