“Letter writing allows us to be alone yet connected. We need a certain amount of solitude in order to have true ideas to communicate. But few of us desire solitude all the time .... Yet solitude is what makes us contemplative and receptive, more aware of life's gifts and our own special blessings.”

“Letter writing is a habit that allows us to explore new trails all our lives. Each day is a fresh new adventure when we regularly send and receive letters.”

“An inspired letter can be as riveting as a stare. It can move us to tears, spur us to action, provoke us, uplift us, touch us. Transform us. When written from the heart, letters are dreams on paper, wishes fulfilled, desires satisfied. letters can be powerful.”

“What we do today, right now, will have an accumulated effect on all our tomorrows.”

“The 'art of tea' is a spiritual force for us to share.”

“The thoughtful little things we do each day have an accumulated effect on all our tomorrows.”

“We choose how enthusiastically we live our time alive.”
