Several months back, olduvai introduced me to Postcrossing and I've really been enjoying sending and receiving postcards from all over the world. For all those people out there who love receiving snail mail and still enjoy the old-fashion form of communication, please jump on the Postcrossing bandwagon!
This is my favourite amongst the postcards I've received so far. It's from Finland and it has a lovely poem. The writer has translated it from Finnish. I enjoy Postcrossing because it's interesting to read what a complete stranger has to say, it's exciting to see what picture the front of the postcard carries, and it's with a curiosity about the world that I look at the stamps and the things they represent about the country they come from.
Leave one card up a sleeve
Leave one door slightly open
Leave a small drop at the bottom of a bottle
Leave a scent to a pillowcase for the night
Leave a laughter to populate
a lonely room
Leave something small and light
to grow shockingly grand
Leave so much of yourself
that you'll never again
be whole without it
