Dear Karen,
Here is what I have to thank you for: Embarking on this journey with me, a journey of over two years in which we have been writing letters back and forth on the writing life, and more. Bringing your voice here. Sharing your stories. Your ruminations. Your thoughts. Your life.
One can never ask for more than a friend sharing her life.
I believe we’ve touched some deep places with these letters, and within ourselves. I am not sorry for the journey, or to be washed ashore at this point to inhabit our own islands for awhile, as you put it so beautifully. I too am ready for my own silence, for the rain pattering on leaves, for the quiet waves along the beach.
My hope in our journey together with this blog is that we did not add to the noise of the world, but to its understanding.
May God Bless You.
Love, Nancy
