Dear Reader

Herein you will find letters that I write and post.

Letters to who?
Letters to people in my life, real or imagined.
Letters to things. Letters to ideas.

Why write letters like this?
I am writing these letters based on moments throughout my life in which I find myself thinking about something or someone in terms of writing a letter.
Like, Dear Dad, what have you been doing all these years?
Or Dear Sky, what is it like to be so vast?
Or Dear Sara, I knew you when I was 11 and you had the most amazingly gorgeous singing voice. Where are you and what are you doing now? Are you still a singer?

So, that's why I'm writing letters.

Why here and not email or snail mail or text message them or smoke signal them?
Because this is sending them, in its own way. Because I can't find the address to send a letter to my missing favorite pair of sneakers or my long lost best friend, Anne Halkovic.

So, Dear Reader, read on. There may be a letter for you!
Thank you.

Leila

Dear Dream,

Where did you go? I was really enjoying the part about how I was apologizing to the planet for using electricity that was not from renewable resources.
I woke up this morning feeling totally aware, more than ever, about energy consumption.
I was aware of how we must change our lives.

Thank you for bringing this into my waking awareness. It's more full now than ever: the desire to be conscious and act on that consciousness.

Oh Dream, how I Love you so.
Your mysterious world that takes me in and enrapts me your stories.
I feel honored to have the key to your realm.

Dear Dream, are you closer to me now than life? You seem to be more connected to the elusive eternal. Something closer to Death, hovering in between the waking and the dying, the in-between realm of consciousness...
Something near.

Dear Dream.
Leila
