Re: [postcard: scully & mulder]
[The sender of this postcard politely disapproves of anything too reasonable.]
Nobody wants to be unoriginal or trite, do they? I don't think that commonplace is necessarily a bad thing, it can be very comfortable. But cliche is one of those words that leave a bad feeling behind. The stars don't make me feel small at all. I know that we might only be a speck of something inconsequential in the grand scheme of everything. When I look at the stars, I can't even fathom the massiveness of it all but I'm a part of all that massiveness. What I'm made of, it stretches for light-years upon light-years. Is uncovering the truth important to you?
I'm running out of space, but I'll draw you a constellation that I see next time and we can make up our own legend for it.
[And then crammed tightly into one bottom corner on the card:] P.S. Why thank you, Scully.
