Apotheosis of the Pen Pal
In a mere fifty years the ability to find a kindred spirit elsewhere in the world and previously unacquainted has gone from message-in-a-bottle to instantaneous hereiamthereyouarehallelujah. One example among myriads is the map above, which reveals where and how many people who have visited the One With Clay, Image and Text blog since its inception last December 3rd. This phenomenon may be the single most important factor in the future history of human relations. We are getting to know, and be less strange to, each other.

You also made someone smile!
