“When I receive a postcard my heart soars like an eagle! Of the billions of people on earth, it takes my breath away that a single person, thousands of miles away, took the time to write to ME. Though we may never meet, their words will forever be etched in my heart. I am thankful for being able to be a part of sharing. I await the next one. White Wolf, Earth”
