This year, I participated in Emily's alphabet swap.  Emma (my new Australian friend) and I had the letter "Y" and I love seeing what creative things she came up with.  I think my favorite part is the entire package wrapped in the yellow pages (from another country, no less...which was totally fascinating).  I can't wait to see what she thinks of mine.  I think the best thing I sent was a Yeats poem I tore out from my old English anthology.

your notes, letters, emails, phone calls, text messages, instant messages, poetry, videos, recipes, and prayers

(each arrives at exactly the moment of need)

have encouraged us as we plug along...

uncovering a new life...

reminding ourselves of truths.

(please don't stop sending them).
