I have a pen pal

It's strange, It's fun, It pushes my elastic boundaries and each small communication blip leaves me smiling. I have not had a pen pal since before I was a teenager. And the strange thing about this person is that everytime I compare us, we come up opposite. Sun signs: Cancer (me) Capricorn (them) - opposite signs. Venus in: Gemini (me) Sagittarius (them) - opposite signs. Female (me) Male (them) - opposite genders. Married (me) Probably never getting married (them) - opposite commitments. These are only a few examples. YET even stranger we have fantastic discourse about a range of topics, and it could be that because of our opposite natures, we are able to 'see' more of life's varied expressions. It is almost as if through the paradox we find our commonalities: both artists, musicians, and writers who love love love exponentially no matter what.
Anyhow, MG, you rock! And I am happy to have found you.

May you have a long and happy penpalship….or whatever the word is? LOL
I can inmagine how nice it is to have a pen pal. I have had several pen pals when I was much younger, one in South-Korea and two in the Phillippines.
I started to type my letters in stead of writing them and sometimes I wrote letters of 10 pages. I enjoyed to write my thoughts. And I still like to write.
But actually I still have pen palls, because Internet has replaced the paper and the stamps. Now I know many more people in Asia, who I can contact more easily and quicker. But on the other hand writing letters, has also its attractions, because you have to wait a few weeks or at least a week before you get an answer.
