Dear...

My work arrives, by internet as it always does, sent by someone I've never met in an office I've never been to.  I'm pretty sure I know what town they're in.  Pretty sure.

I saw my boss once.  On an ad playing before a movie in a cinema.  He was about as I imagined him.

When the work comes in, the emails are addressed, "Dear Sir/Madam..."

The random splinter of truth in that amuses me. So I write about in on the internet.  Somewhere someone I've never met reads it and thinks about dislocation.

IMPERSONAL WORLD

We are living in an impersonal world these days, striving to achieve the same identity in the end. There’s nothing wrong with that, the idea of being able to buy a certain kind of reality has its own appeal. But I like that personal touch of someone’s heart, I like to see with my own eyes the traces of someone’s soul in fragments, scattering to pieces. That’s why I like to buy things that came from someone’s hands, limited items that takes time and energy and cost a little bit more than factory but gives me the scent of being alive insides another presence.

Maybe that’s why artists, designers, crafters, musicians or anyone who believes in what they’re doing and doing it with all their heart, they’re the ones who makes this impersonal world feels personal somehow. Even when we’re lost in the midst of hundreds of unknown faces, we can still feel our own being here… walking with someone’s dream. It makes us feel just a little bit less alone or lonely, and even in rare moments when we suddenly wake up and start to feel love with no reason just because we’ve been true. In this impersonal world, we could actually buy a very personal energy. Isn’t that simply amazing..!?
