“I found myself feeling drawn in by a book I had picked up casually, so I’m writing this.”
“When I read those lines, I felt so comforted that I even had the ridiculous illusion that perhaps all the time I had lived through and experienced was for the sake of reading this poem.”
“I’m not sure yet what kind of thoughts and feelings the poet is speaking to me with.”
“And I, too, as I suddenly began writing down the poet’s poem, am not sure what on earth I’m trying to say to you all.”
“But one thing I can say for certain is that those lines brought me great comfort, and rather than offering you the usual, countless, dazzling pleasantries, I wanted to return that comfort to you by writing down my sincere thoughts, one character at a time.”
