A place to step away
from the everyday
and face your thoughts
with honesty
When you're nervous,unable to take
that first step,or when you're
determined to move forward
with confidence in your feelings.
To that important "special someone"
When you write a letter,
More than when you're thinking alone,
You can face your emotions
More honestly and carefully.
With age, comes the realization
Of deep gratitude for our loved ones.
And often, it's not until they're gone
That we wish we had told them more.
Gather those feelings,
those words you wished you'd spoken,
and weave them into a letter.
Into the life that follows separation,
A letter holds the power, transcending time and place,
To convey your deepest feelings.
In a distant place, known to no one,
Where the heart inexplicably finds peace,
And honest feelings can be freely expressed—
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.
