I always begin my letters with "Dearest..."
I don't really know why. I guess maybe it's because I am hoping that
someone will recognize a like spirit and KNOW me. That sounds stupid
and naive to think that because of one word I will find such a person.
But it's true: I am always on the lookout for kindreds. It would be
pretty bizarre if I just approached some random person and asked, "Do
you look at the moon and dream?" or some similar question. Wouldn't
that be wonderful, to be free enough of pretenses to simply ask a
question like that and then move on. I often think about doing that,
but I am too conscious of societal repercussions to do anything that
drastic. So I merely address my letters with "Dearest" in the vain hope
that someday...
