		<description>While having my morning coffee I bounced into this and you have a beautiful way with words Amélie is one of my favorite movies..for the  whole simplicity of it.. I think that's how we should carry our lives.

Looking at little objects,poke things,  smiling to strangers,giving a candy to a bum in the street,  sadly so many things feel ackward to people that they are just fading away.. 

As for the letters I wish to find a group of people who want to keep this alive somehow.. I agree with the comment above the feeling of expecting a letter , waiting for the postman every afternoon, It's flawless..

Adieu! and Thank you for the start of a good morning.</description>

		<description>Beautiful post Marion. Life through e-mails and Internet is fast, too fast. The funny thing is that some broadband ads promise even more speed in the Internet. How faster would one want to check e-mails? 

What I miss is the waiting time between letters. Technological determinism has treated 'waiting' as a disease, something that should be cured by faster communication technology. There are things lost in this process of terminating the 'waiting time': the excitement of waiting, counting the time, imagining the journey (e.g. of the letter), daydreaming, even speaking or perhaps 'ceaselessly running your fingers through the tassels of your blue scarf'.</description>
