Liu Jianhua created Collected Letters for the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. When I saw these letters hanging in front of me, I stopped and stared mesmerized. Yeah, I’ve seen this!

Sometimes, writing feels like this, a thousand letters (and not all of them familiar) come piling down on top of me.

I can be driving down the Beltway, walking through the produce aisle, running on the treadmill. A thousand thoughts pile up on me, letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, Stories.

It’s a miracle.

Does it happen to you?
