Inspiring

The Lord of The Rings Trilogy is one of best movies ever made.
It is my humble opinion that in decades to come, generations will look back and view upon the movie as a masterpiece. The one thing that made this movie memorable to me is this orchestral music.
After watching the movies, whenever I hear upon this beautiful music, it reincarnates the idea of nobility, peace, love and the pursuit of justice. In the world that we're in today, it hasn't been all that pleasant but maybe, just maybe, this song inspires in us all of what we can achieve today just by doing our part.


For the freedom born as our right
For the peace we wished with all our might


For all the grief and suffering
For the harmony of our sisters, brothers and being


For all the hatred that taints our heart

For the love we know we can impart


For all the anguish and heartache to abate

For the cheers and joy we patiently await

For all the grit and hardship we have nerved
For the happiness we work hard to deserve


For all the times we were oppressed
For the courage steadily growing in our chest


For all the clash and conflict by those power blind
For the true enlightenment of all mankind


For all the struggles of battle and strife
For the inspiration it invokes in life


For all that we would, we could and should
For all that is true, pure and good

We all have that dream don't we? This particular music...ah.. a moving piece by Howard Shore for a movie that will, without a doubt, withstand the the test of time.

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.
:)

Postcard from Netherlands

I LOVE receiving these postcards.
Scenic, painted and isolated areas of the Earth
Beautiful
Postcards somehow allow the receiver to see different parts of the world
From the comfort of your own home
I have a special box just for my postcards
Slowly but surely it's filling up
I've received other postcards recently but have yet to scan and upload them
Very unique ones too
Hmm, I would have to upload the postcards that I've sent out to people.
There's some pretty interesting ones.
Now just to find the time to do that...




A BIG Thanks to the postcrossing community
Checking the mail everyday is one thing I look forward to
Receiving postcards and letters makes my day :)
