A place to step away
from the everyday
and face your thoughts
with honesty
When you’re nervous or struggling
to takethat first step,
When you’re determined to move forward
with confidence in your feelings.
When you write a letter to
those important to you,
to introspect more honestly and thoughtfully
than when one tries to think on their own.
As we grow older we begin to realize
how grateful we are to our loved ones.
But oftentimes, it’s not until they’re gone
that we realized we should have thanked them more
Gather those feelings,
those words you wished you’d spoken,
and weave them into a letter
In this life that’s filled with separation,
A letter holds the power
to transcend time and place,
To convey your deepest feelings.
Far away, in a place known to no one,
The heart inexplicably finds peace,
And feelings can be expressed honestly and freely.
A small moment of the extraordinary,
Just a little removed from daily life.
Tegami-dera aspires to be just that —
A quiet, tranquil presence,
A gentle solace for the soul.
Tegami-dera began in 2016 with the hope that writing a letter
to someone important to you would bring peace
to the writer’s heart and help
them reconnect with their true self.
