"To the Princess of the Elephants.
I disappeared exactly one year ago today. On that day I received a letter. It called me back to the place where my life with the elephants began.
Please forgive me, for the silence between us has been unbroken for one year.
This letter breaks that silence. It marks the first of my three hundred and sixty-five letters to you, one for each day of silence.
I will never be more myself than in these letters.
They are my maps of the bird path, and they are all that I know to be true."
- "Ashes and Snow: A Novel in Letters", by Gregory Colbert
