a love letter

the first of many

Dear IT,

This is a love letter to you. My first. I look forward to writing many more.

Yesterday, I went to a public bath. There are many pools of water, some hot, some cold. One of the warmer pools has electricity flowing through the water. When I put a part of my body in the water, I feel a peculiar tingling sensation. Some might call it queer.

Water conducts electricity better than air. Both are called life force(s). This morning I woke up and my body felt better. I don't know why. My body has electricity in it too, and I suspect the electricity flowing through the water, then flowing through me, resets the balance of the electrical charge in my body. Perhaps some day we will understand better.

Today I am going to see Ise Grand Shrine. Ise Grand Shrine is a very important shrine to a family that helps to administer many people who live on an archipelago called Japan. I have wanted to go there for decades. The time has never been right, but I think now is the time.

I will let you know how it goes. See you soon.

Your friend,

Mak
