Endangered Letters
November 2, 2010
Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace, it shouldn't be peace at any cost, but peace based on principle, on justice.

This question was asked by Adam Bienenstock from Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds in Dundas, Ontario, in a discussion about how to get the attention of potential sponsors at the recent World Forum "Connecting Children with Nature Action Forum" at the Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska. Bienenstock explained that he recently received a handwritten letter from a local program asking for funding. This communication so stood out that he was moved to say "yes."
This sentiment was echoed in the article "Endangered Arts," in Psychology Today (December 2010). In discussing the endangered handwritten letter, the article observed....
"... the immediacy of email robs us of the giddy excitement that used to come from finally getting a glimpse of a long-awaited envelope, stuffed with possibility, in the mailbox. We've sacrificed the attenuated pleasure of anticipating a letter, as well as the gravitas that comes from knowing our words won't reach someone else for at least a week. An angry email is all too easy to send into the void. An angry letter, however, is often ripped up, as the sender knows somewhere in the back of her mind that the feeling will be embarrassingly pungent by the time it arrives."
