The Power of the Note
The note remained with Clara throughout the day. She read and reread it, feeling astonished by the pure innocence and hope of words in the letter from Emily. It reminded her of how, when she was a little girl, she used to write letters to her parents telling them about all the adventures she intended to have.
For years, Clara had lived on her farm in silence – content but unfulfilled. She had allowed most of her longings to drift into memory after retiring and concentrated more on taking care of her land and animals instead. Emily’s note awakened something in her, the feeling of desire, and she knew it wasn’t too late for the dreams that she had set aside years ago to come to life again.
Such an opportunity could not be let to go without an act in its regard, thought Clara. She decided to look for the person who wrote the note and express to them how much his words inspired her.
