Quote

The life of the bird is as important as the life of the king.

 Just different.

Beneath

Beneath all that anger there's hurt.

 And beneath all that hurt, there's love.

 And love is all that matters.

Photo postcard

This is a postcard from a very good penpal in Indonesia:)
I love our loonnnggg messages to each other. 

Exchanging our ideas on issues, sharing similar values, differences in cultures and way of life. 

She went to stores looking for postcards but couldn't find one. 

Instead she printed a photo and made it into a postcard.

The photo on the postcard is that of the Bromo Mountain. 

According to her, she was going to go there with her class but apparently the mountain is in one of its dangerous moods. So it would have to be postponed. 

Through our messages, I realize that even though we live thousands of miles away from each other, our lives, values and beliefs are rather similar. Its comforting to know that in an increasingly polarized and fragmented world, there are people out there who are unexpectedly similar to us. 

Looking forward to your next message ;)

Postcard from USA

When I received this postcard, it actually brightened my day. And not so many things brighten my days of late.

I shall quote some of the things written on the postcard
"Happy New Year!
I hope this year is full of happiness, laughter and wonderful postcards for you!"
"My favourite quote is actually lyrics to a song written by Eden Ahbez;

 'The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return'."

Thank you to the person for her thoughts and time and effort taken to write and send the postcard.
:)

~Salam~
