Postcrossing cuteness

I love Postcrossing. The wait, the cards, the stamps. My day is made when one card arrives, and when another I sent arrived. The postcards dominate my mood right now. Imagine my pleasant surprise, when this charming postcard from Hamburg, Germany arrived:

Awww! Thank you, my dear Mina! I hope you meet a lot of new friends and play a lot! Ahh, those good times!

"In the tale, a couple of monks named Theodore and Luscious shared the acute desire to go out and see the world. Since they’d made vows of contemplation, however, this was not something they were allowed to do. So, to satiate their wanderlust, Theodore and Luscious learned to “mock their temptations” by relegating their travels to the future. When the summertime came, they said to each other, “We will leave in the winter.” When the winter came, they said, “We will leave in the summer.” They went on like this for over fifty years, never once leaving the monastery or breaking their vows.
Most of us, of course, have never taken such vows– but we chose to live like monks anyway, rooting ourselves to a home or a career and using the future as a kind of phony ritual that justifies the present. In this way, we end up spending (as Thoreau put it) “the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it.” We’d love to drop all and explore the world outside, we tell ourselves, but the time never seems right. Thurs, given an unlimited amount of choices, we make none. Settling into our lives, we get so obsessed with holding on to our domestic certainties that we forget why we desired them in the first place."
