Recently I started an engaging, ongoing dialogue with an individual via email. While I've yet to meet this person, I feel that I've already developed an amazing kinship, just from the power of the written words that have been shared. Not only does this individual have an obvious command of, and appreciation for, the English language, the exchange has encouraged me to reply with the same care and creativity.
A few days ago, I was also introduced to a blog written by a former high school classmate. Like my email correspondent, she uses words as a beautiful form of personal expression.
In a world where communication is being truncated into sound bites, text messages and emoticons, it's nice to know that there is still a vibrant faction who is holding firm to the eloquence of the written word.
