It arrived on a Monday.

Not digitally, I want to be precise about this because the medium matters, because the specific and particular choice of a physical envelope in the current and digital age of communication is itself a communication, is the deliberate and considered choice of a person who understands that a physical thing lands differently than an email, that it has weight and texture and the specific and undeniable quality of an object that has been handled, that has passed through hands, that exists in the world in a way that a file attachment does not.

A physical envelope.

Cream colored.

No return address.

My name on...
