This is a postcard of a Christian Saint, Anthony of Padua. He is one of the most beloved saint because he is especially invoked for the recovery of lost things. One of his symbols is book, therefore, he is reading in the postcard. People usually come up with writing when make mention of reading. No matter reading or writing, the reader or the writer look so powerful and beautiful in their own world with great concentration. To write or to get a postcard is not like reading or writing books. But during the short period of a few hundred words, we also become powerful and beautiful.
這張明信片是天主教聖人帕多瓦的安東尼。安東尼守護的人很有趣，是那些丟失物品的人，所以讓他受到廣大的愛戴。而他的象徵聖物是書本，也就是這張明信片中他在閱讀的原因之一。常常和寫作相提並論的，就是閱讀了。不論是振筆疾書，或是徐徐翻動書頁，都有種專注的美感，也有種進到自己世界的權威，讓人靜靜的遠觀而不敢或不忍打擾。寄收明信片雖然和書本不同，不過也有那短短幾百字的時間，讓人進到寫作與閱讀的世界裡。
