Alma Agape’s Code of Correspondence

However different our beliefs or journeys may be, at our essence, we remain human — ever in search of meaning, connection, and peace. Each letter is an offering: a bridge between two souls who have known hope, sorrow, wonder, and love — just as you have.

You do not write to a stranger; you write to another heart that beats much like your own.

To preserve this rare space, we gently ask all members to refrain from themes that divide or disrupt the tranquility of this sanctuary. Alma Agape is a brief but profound retreat from the noise of the world — an experience to treasure once in a lifetime.

Thank you for honoring this intention and preserving its quiet beauty for all.

Your Alma Agape

Immediate Letter Rejection…

To preserve the purity and peace of Alma Agape, any letter that includes the following content will be immediately declined:

  • Political opinions, agendas, or commentary

  • Religious preaching, conversion attempts, or spiritual superiority

  • Discussion of race, ethnicity, or cultural difference

  • Gender or sexual identity topics or ideology

  • Debates about identity, morality, or society

  • Criticism of groups, ideologies, or personal lifestyles

  • Explicit or inappropriate sexual content

  • Harsh, judgmental, or corrective tones

  • Graphic trauma, violence, or emotionally unsafe disclosure

  • Any message that creates division or labels between humans

This is not a place for debate or division.
This is a place for the human heart — as it is.

Your Alma Agape

  • Fuel Language & Verbal Hostility

    Language is sacred — it has the power to cradle or to cut. Alma Agape holds no space for cruelty in any form, whether disguised as humor, disguised as truth, or delivered in raw aggression.

    Words that attack, provoke, or incite do not belong in letters meant for the human spirit. Even veiled resentment, sarcasm, or superiority can wound deeply. Alma Agape is not a place for rage — it is a place for reverence.

    ✘ No curses, profanities, or vulgar expressions
    ✘ No insults, name-calling, or personal attacks
    ✘ No sarcastic, passive-aggressive, or condescending tone
    ✘ No hateful ideation, death wishes, or dehumanizing language
    ✘ No threatening or emotionally manipulative phrasing

    We ask that every word be chosen with care, clarity, and compassion. Your letter is not a place to release emotional venom — it is a space to offer warmth, stillness, or sincere reflection.

  • Politics

    Political ideology has become modern religion — worshipped, weaponized, and worn like armor. While politics shapes society, it often fractures the soul of conversation. Debates around governance — immigration, taxation, arms control, voting rights — quickly ignite passions and polarize hearts.

    In Alma Agape, we leave behind the slogans and the sides. We write not as citizens of nations, but as citizens of humanity.

    ✘ No political campaigning, commentary, or alignment
    ✘ No references to parties, policies, or power structures

  • Religion and Belief Systems

    Faith, in its purest form, is quiet — personal, poetic, profound. But when it enters the public square as proof or persuasion, it can wound. Disagreements over spiritual truths, critiques of other paths, or attempts to force others to convert turn sacred words into sharp ones.

    Whether traditional, mystical, agnostic, or scientific — Alma Agape is not the place to defend doctrines. We welcome humanity, not division.

    ✘ No religious instruction, conversion, or superiority
    ✘ No critiques of belief systems (including atheism or spiritualism)
    ✘ No discussions of controversial religious issues (e.g., sexuality, science, abortion)

  • Race and Ethnicity

    To speak of race is to awaken centuries of grief, pride, and injustice. Conversations around systemic inequality, privilege, or ancestral identity are deeply personal — and deeply fragile.

    Alma Agape is not a place to explain, defend, or define cultural experience. We do not acknowledge one’s race — not in ignorance, but in reverence. Here, we meet without color or category, soul to soul.

    ✘ No reference to race, color, ethnicity, or cultural difference
    ✘ No mention of systemic oppression or racial trauma
    ✘ No discourse on reparations, identity, or social movements

  • Gender and Sexual Identity

    Modern language around gender and sexuality is ever-shifting — what once whispered now shouts. Topics such as feminism, trans identity, or toxic masculinity have become battlegrounds of belief.

    At Alma Agape, we lay down arms. We do not define others by categories, nor do we seek to explore their borders. We honor the human spirit before any descriptor.

    ✘ No discussion of gender roles, rights, or reform
    ✘ No commentary on sexuality, identity, or LGBTQIA+ topics
    ✘ No reference to feminist theory, masculinity, or gender dynamics

  • Money & Class

    Wealth and poverty are often spoken of with judgment or shame. Discussions around welfare, inequality, or generational privilege are laden with assumptions and guilt.

    At Alma Agape, we speak not of banknotes, but of inner richness. There is no place here for the economics of comparison.

    ✘ No commentary on poverty, wealth, or financial status
    ✘ No mention of homelessness, aid, or class politics
    ✘ No references to spending habits, luxury, or scarcity narratives

  • Discussions Of Death & Mental Health

    Loss is universal — but not always safe to receive from a stranger. Discussions of death, suicide, depression, or addiction require great care and trained holding, which Alma Agape cannot provide.

    Though sorrow may be part of our journey, we ask that your letter not become a burden to the one who receives it. Share the stillness, not the storm.

    ✘ No mention or encouragement of suicide, mental illness, trauma, or medication
    ✘ No explicit descriptions of grief, loss, or death
    ✘ No language suggesting emotional crisis or intervention

  • Food, Body Image, & Health

    Bodies carry both biology and belief. Topics like body positivity, fatphobia, diet culture, or chronic illness have become personal battlegrounds — often laced with shame, judgment, or performance.

    Alma Agape does not weigh worth. We do not write in grams or inches. We invite the soul to step out of its form and speak freely.

    ✘ No discussion of body image, weight, or eating habits
    ✘ No health discourse, diagnoses, or fitness ideologies
    ✘ No chronic illness commentary or disability advocacy

  • Climate & Environmental Issues

    While our love for the natural world runs deep, discussions of environmental degradation, activism, and climate policy can trigger overwhelm, denial, or blame.

    Let Alma Agape be a space not of protest, but of presence. Write of nature’s beauty — not its ruin.

    ✘ No discourse on climate change, sustainability, or ecological responsibility
    ✘ No guilt-based rhetoric or calls to action
    ✘ No mention of carbon footprints, pollution, or activism

  • Identity & Privilege

    Today’s vocabulary of identity — white privilege, cultural appropriation, fragility, allyship — can quickly slide into accusation and moral hierarchy. It alienates more than it connects.

    In Alma Agape, we do not define people by what they represent — but by who they are. Here, no one is reduced to a category.

    ✘ No mention of social privilege, identity politics, or cultural critique
    ✘ No analysis of power structures or lived experience discourse
    ✘ No advocacy or ideological messaging on justice issues

What You Can Write About

This space is rich with meaningful, timeless themes. We openly welcome letters that speak of:

  • Wonder and awe at the beauty of life

  • Lessons of life

  • Love: lost, found, or still hoped for

  • Childhood memories and small moments

  • Silence, stillness, and what you’ve learned

  • Grief, gently spoken

  • Personal stories of healing and growth

  • Questions without answers

  • Letters to your future self or a stranger

  • Beauty, nature, music, and mystery

If you write from the truth of your soul — with humility and grace — your words will always find their place.

  • “There is a window I sit by every morning. It faces east. And even when the world feels too loud to bear, I notice the same thing: light does not argue. It simply arrives. I have come to believe that freedom feels like this — quiet, undeserved, steady. One time I saw an old man plant tomatoes on a broken street. He didn’t speak, just hummed. That was the freest thing I’d seen all year.”

  • “She didn’t speak my language.
    I didn’t speak hers. But I was cold, and she saw it — and handed me her scarf, pale blue and slightly worn.

    That was it. That was the whole story.

    No headlines. Just a stranger, a scarf, and two people who suddenly remembered they were made of the same soft clay.”

  • “My grandfather wore cologne that smelled like pinewood and dusk. It’s been ten winters since he left. But last week, in a secondhand bookstore, I smelled it again.

    I stood there like a statue. Time bent.

    He was there. Not in flesh. But in memory, which is sometimes even louder.”

  • “There is a kind of bravery no one sees —
    the courage it takes to breathe when your lungs feel too heavy,
    to keep walking when the road is invisible beneath your feet.

    Yesterday, I watched a small sparrow land on a wire during a storm.
    The wind howled, the sky cracked open —
    but it held on, still and unshaken, as if saying:
    ‘Even when the world roars, you can still be a quiet light.”

  • “I think the silences we share
    hold more truth than the loudest arguments. Like the pause between two heartbeats, or the stillness in a crowded room, those invisible spaces cradle us.

    So, when I write to you,
    I leave room for your thoughts to breathe —
    a place for your soul to sit quietly beside mine.”
