October 2009 was declared by someone to be International Postcard Month, in celebration of 140 years since the postcard was invented.
A group was formed on Facebook, and their people simply left their name and address written on the wall, hoping to become receivers of postcards. I took down three addresses, and sent them postcards. I don’t really remember what I wrote - just whatever I was thinking at the time, stamped then sent to a person I have never and will never meet.
Then, yesterday, I received a postcard. It bears a picture of a “roadtrain” - one of those multi-part massive trucks that transports goods in the Australian Outback. It’s from “Beth”, and she tells me a couple of things about her life. Then she signs off:
postcards = patience. Love from Beth
