Day 33: This is where I find community




This is our local post office in Calmar, Alberta.  In the last year, it has become my favourite business in Calmar.  It has become the place where I find my community.  

My community these days is a collection of letters and postcards that come into my mailbox every so often.  It is the most consistent form of community I have.  These are my Faraway Friends.  

There is no obligations to perform... just responses to make.  I like that.  Our stories are shared in pieces and like a puzzle, we put those pieces together over our correspondence.
