Comment by Zorica Obradović yesterday: the first is Ivo Andrić second Bukowski

Comment by Zorica Obradović yesterday: thank you Holly , for the comment, for getting to know the author (I haven't met him), for the wonderful magic... there is also that, or rather maybe it would be nice that way...

I'm more a friend of a different school.. for example:

Comment by holly johnson yesterday: the poem, The Letter

Carrier of news and knowledge

Instrument of trade and industry

Promoter of mutual acquaintance

Of peace and of goodwill

Among men and nations

Messenger of sympathy and love

Servant of parted friends

Consoler of the lonely

Bond of the scattered family

Enlarger of the common life

-- Charles William Eliot (1834–1926)

Comment by Zorica Obradović on Monday: studying the available documentation on mail art (the history of mail art), I notice that too often the emphasis is on the "founders", and glorification by the number of years of activity. My opinion is that it is a greater "feat" to write a postal letter, or send a postcard, in the current time of the reign of IT and AI. ...but that's just my opinion ...

...which is pretty negligible in the galaxy.🤔😁

Comment by Zorica Obradović on Monday: original and witty vision...
