Dear Thorsten,
What a wonderful story, I just read both posts. Your statement,
“We may forget, but paper doesn’t. Keep this in mind, especially in this evermore virtual world of ours. eBooks cannot be signed, dedicated, special, limited or ever contain such special little mementos”
is something that we all have to remember. The image of the book and roses is also beautiful. There is really nothing like feeling and holding a book. This story from the past and the special card is invaluable.
Thank you for sharing your great images and writings.
Best to you and Holly,
Sondra

Your comment to Vineeta really resonated with me, I wish my husband could “feel” more.
Thanks so much for sharing,

This is all so fascinating to read, as you had told me it before but to read it reached me at a deeper level.

I also love these thoughts, “But that also means there is no note for someone else to find in the future, a little “thank you” or “how are you” or “get well” included with a nicely bound book given to a friend, a book that maybe some stranger will acquire in the future…”

How nicely put. You’re right. Which motivates me to go buy you a nice card again very soon because it’s been several months already and that’s just not right, is it?

Much love you my darling. I love you, your mind, your heart, all of it.

Thank you Vineeta. I think it’s generally harder for men to express how they feel due to upbringing and various conventions. The display of emotions is considered a feminine trait and a sign of vulnerability, something that can potentially be exploited. Looking at it this way it is actually a sign of insecurity if a man has difficulty expressing his feelings, out of fear of being misjudged or misunderstood, as the fact remains that all human beings have emotions regardless of gender. Admittedly men don’t feel on the same level as women as we significantly rationalize our choices but nevertheless “allowing” ourselves to feel a certain way actually contributes to making good decisions hence feeling more sure and confident. At least that’s how I see it.

So much heart. To say it is beautiful is to state the obvious. I truly admire men who can say it like they feel it. Thats so rare.
