Message In A Bottle

[WolfyOne]

Thought I'd bring an oldie over to the Planet because someone said they liked it before. Honestly, I haven't thought much about anything lately, so perhaps a few messages might just do the trick.


This is how it works; if you put a message in a bottle and hoped for someone to find it, what would you write. You can write as many messages as you want because the bottles here are endless.


I'll start by writing the first message......reality is make believe turned inside out. I'm rolling up my message, grabbing a bottle, tossing my message inside and then I'll put a cork in it.

Throwing it out to sea to drift in the salty waters.

[sweetfemme247]

very nice thread I think I will use it some.

[adorable]

Singling out the weak is remarkably unattractive.

[WolfyOne]

One more message in a bottle for tonight
I'll roll this one tight to drop it in because it's a little long

Sometimes the road we travel is full of cracks or potholes and then the road gets smoother due to repairs.
As the road begins to open up again, the smooth ride makes you realize that potholes and cracks can always be repaired in time.
Now it's time to let the windows down and let the wind blow through your hair.
Not a care in the world while on that smooth road because you won't have to worry about hitting a pothole or a crack.


Here's hoping someone that needs this will find it.

Message in a bottle:

Not everything, nor everyone is what it/they seem. Learn to recognize people are flawed. They are no better, nor worse than you. Everyone, no matter gender, religion, sexuality, handicap, is equal and must be treated as such.

Treat as if you would be treated.

[Soft*Silver]

I loved him with all my heart and it wasnt enough. After I had had enough I left. Please dont wait that long...

[DamonK]

If you can dream it, you can make it a reality.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Wolfy}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Thank you! I loved this thread!

Woohoooo! *wiggles into chair and gets comfy; unrolls parchment, dips pen into ink*

*thinks a moment, then begins to write*

here I am on an island again
with teal-green ink I dip my pen
message to you from where I am
please send me butter, biscuits and jam

*gently pours a little sand on the letter to dry it*

*rolls up parchment, tucks it into pretty bottle*

*pops a cork into the bottle, carries bottle to the edge of the beach, tosses it out onto the waves*

*settles back, grinning, to wait for an answer*

[Rockinonahigh]

I wrote this once,so im stufing it in this bottle in hopes someone will find it:

Trails of the Lone Wolf:
Today I will rest from the heat of the day..will you come to me in my dreams while I sleep?I hear you heart beat far away in the night,feel your energy in my soul and all of my being.I travel the long night in hopes of finaly finding you in my serch.Each night I cry at the moon in hopes of your reply...but no matter how far I travel I will keep serching ,for one day I know our hearts will beat as one.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all. From now on, you'll be treading the road between who you think you are and who you can be. The key is to allow your self to make the journey"

So, when you find this message, just know you are always welcome to call me or show up with a bottle of Vodka and fresh limes and we'll work everything out, k?*

[Ms. Tabitha]

It's not what you say
that makes the difference in my life,
But your caring thoughts
in everything that you do,
and the quality person that you are.
You have been so kind to be there for my troubles,
and to share in my life's happiness.
My respect and admiration for our friendship is magnified
by your generosity and wonderful abundance of
laughter, support, patience, and love.
These are the things you do and how you feel
when you sincerely want the best
for someone dear to your heart.
We have become good forgivers and loving friends
and I'm thankful for that every day.
The friendship we share is a cornerstone of my life,
and if our past experiences have any bearing on the future,
then we are truly fortunate because we have a loving friendship
that is Timeless.
With all of your wonderful qualities
encourage me to become a better person
and I want to share the rest
of my life with you.
~ Timeless

Taking out some pale yellow writing paper and a purple pen

"Dear P,
You know where to find me, if You ever want to find me again.
love, always.
rhonda"

Rolling the note up and putting it in a bottle, along with some purple glitter and a copy of the poem she wrote for me. Pushing the cork in and sealing it with a bit of melted purple wax.

Standing quietly at the edge of the ocean, listening with my eyes closed.

Tossing the bottle into the water...watching it as it floats.... buoyed by the gentle waves...

"Can You Hear Me Now?"

[WolfyOne]

My message in this morning's bottle: The thing about hopes, dreams and prayers is that they can be answered even when they're not.

[Kenna]

placed in my favorite cobalt blue glass bottle....

When the door of happiness closes,
another opens, but often times we look so
long at the closed door that we don’t see
the one which had been opened for us.


The best kind of friend is the kind you
can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best
conversation you’ve ever had.


Don’t go for looks; they can deceive.
Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile because it
takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find someone that makes your heart smile.


It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.


The happiest of people don’t necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that
comes along their way.

There's a bit of a story to go with this one...

Don't assume people can't hear or see you. Sometimes, looks or words can cut to the bone.


Earlier tonight, MBE and I went out to eat at Olive Garden. So, we sat down and two men and a woman sat down behind us. Obviously, being trans and in the midwest, I keep an eye out for...potentially dangerous situations. Huh, I noticed one alright.

One of the guys slid his chair out away from the table, in the aisle, to turn to look at me. Being deaf, I couldn't hear the conversation but I could only imagine.

MBE told me what was said. Apparently the three were discussing whether I was male or female. One "gentleman" said he couldn't tell and he had on his glasses. At this time was when the other man turned to look. I usually meet all stares with a gaze back. He noticed and turned away instantly.

At this time, I didn't know yet what they had been discussing but I suspected from the man's reaction that they had been discussing me.

MBE confirmed that when she asked me if they were looking at me.

Well, this went on and on until MBE turned around and went off on them.

As some might know, and Wolfy might remember, I have bad social anxiety, so my anxiety is going through the roof so MBE takes a look at me and asks me if I need to go. I nod and bolt.

The waitress came back and asked her if I was ok. MBE made sure she was in earshot of the 3 people and told her no I wasn't ok and what had happened.

Waitress was appalled.

MBE came out and raged more understandably.

So, that's my final message for the night.

Since I took Astronomy in 1996, the theories have apparently changed. They used to think that we were all spreading out following the big bang, but eventually the Universe would collapse again in another big bang. Now they have figured out that instead of slowing down, the the spreading out of the Universe is speeding up. Meaning that the Universe is becoming a colder and lonelier place, or so they say. There is no longer evidence of a future collapse, another big bang. I guess Ice is nice and will suffice after all.

*I was adrift for what seemed to be a lifetime, when I remembered
the song by Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle - and you know the lyrics?

if I had a box just for wishes and dreams that never came true; the box would be empty, except for the memory of how they were answered by you?

The words in this song have helped me so much when I felt like painful life experiences were closing in on me. It's true, the friendship we share is my saving grace.

Thanks for being you, ~ ALK*

For my soulmate.
Who holds the key to my heart & soul.
On the scrole it reads.

I love to see the ocean's beauty
And the moon that shines above
Alone in the sand lookin at the stars
Wishing someday I would find true love

Wouldn't be nice to see the morning
With the one you love the most
Wouldn't be nice to say goodnight
To the one you hold so close
To your heart, to your heart...

The wind that blows the dove
Is the wind that blows my love
Hoping to find its way to you
Wherever you are

I love to sit in fields of green
Looking deeply thru the sky
Watching birds as they flap by
Hoping someday faith will bring me true love

Wouldn't be nice to hold someone
So dear, n near your heart
Wouldn't be nice to hear those words
I love you, from the one
That you love

The wind that blows the dove
Is the wind that blows my love
Hoping to find its way to you
Wherever you are


I love to see myself one day
In the arms of someone
Who will share her life with me
Selflessly, someday you will find your way,
To me . . .

The wind that blows the dove
Is the wind that blows my love
Hoping to find its way to you
Wherever you are



As I seal it with a kiss
And toss it in the water
Only for you to find.
That you may return home
And we will feel true loves embrace.

[WolfyOne]

I'm going to recycle an old message just because I like it

[Nat]

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race and the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering - these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love - these are the things that we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman,

"O me, O life, O the questions of these recurring. O the endless trains of the faithless, O cities filled with the foolish. What good amid these, O me, O life?

The answer? That life exists and identity. The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse."

what would your verse be?

Check your love tank...What do you find?
Treat each relationship like the gas tank on your car.
Is your tank full?
Are you filling anyones tank?
Are you letting them run on empty, are they letting you?

So check your tank, for each person in your life
Is someone's tank running low where you are concerned
Or are you doing all the giving perhaps they feel as though they are

Your relationships need to be nurtured and petted like a puppy
They need to be cultivated and fertilized like a garden
So check your tank and see what you find
Communicate with one another, ya never know they may feel like their tank is running low too.

[Enchantress]

Believe in what is.

Believe in what was.

Believe in beauty.

Believe in the heart.

"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart."

...Compassion, Love, Honor, Respect, Pride, Dignity, Affection, Tenderness, Grace...

Now, add to the list above the things you consider "The best and most beautiful things...", re-seal the cork on this beautiful blue and silver bottle... and toss it back into your ocean or sea...many blessings will come back to thee.

[Kenna]

Make the extra time to take the long path to get where you want to go.
If you always take the short path, you will never know what it's like to appreciate your hard work and rewards that come with taking the long path.

If you think you don't have the time to take the long path; You always have time for what you make time for.

"If some lives form a perfect circle, others take shape in ways we cannot predict or always understand. Loss has been a part of my journey. But it has also shown me what is precious. So has love for which I can only be grateful."

In every one of us, if we can still our questing heart and our puzzling mind, there is a secret doorway. Who knows how you will find this doorway? Through great suffering, so that one day you turn inside and in anguish stumble upon the key there in your heart? Through reading the lines of a poem? or hearing the words of a song that lead you to this hidden place? Or will it be when you grow old? When the seeking of fame and fortune, of possession and distraction weary you at last? and you take the first deliberate steps towards a discovery of the soul that breathes within you. However you journey to this doorway, however young or old, however driven by sadness or delight in exploring, once you turn its handle and step forward into the realm this doorway reveals, your life will change forever. For you will discover there the land that is known to the Druids and Celts as ..."The Land of Eternal Youth" , some call it..."The Land of Promise," others..."The Land of Honey". It is the secret heaven within each one of us, that if we dare to enter, we discover it is not binded by the limits of our mind or soul but is coexistent with the Universe. There we never age and live in perfect health and joy, feeding our hearts with the love of all creation and expressing our beauty and our strength in acts of noble generosity and courage. For some, it is easy to travel to this place - they have learnt the ways and know the routes that magic in the days of old have laid upon this trackless land, and they come and go through this doorway, refreshing their bodies, hearts and minds, bringing with them the gifts of youthfulness, of healing and of art.

My message today; Live like it's your last day on earth. Make as many moments count as possible. Don't think about tomorrow until it becomes today.

[cinderella]

Quill dipped in red ink - the color of love...

My dearest, to say that you have always lived in my heart all these decades is redundant. You know I will always love you. And even if I never see you again, you are always with me. My life has been an empty shell - always seeking to find the passion and love we shared, but to no avail - it only really happens once.

I hope with all my heart that you are happy in your life, even if it is without me. And if you no longer feel the same for me, I console myself with the thought that it is only one empty heart. That at least one of us has found happiness. And perhaps that means that one of us did not love as well. No matter. I had love at least once in my life - some never do. So, in that respect I am grateful to you, my eternal beloved.

I roll up the parchment, tie a red satin ribbon around it, and place it in the translucent green bottle. I place it on the foamy crest, and point it southward...to Florida. Please unfold this message with care, for it holds my heart.

[cinderella]

I wrote this for you in 2004, but you've never seen it. Here, again, I set another bottle adrift. This time I hope it finds you, and moves your heart...


The Questioning Heart

Tell me my love, what shall I do
To stop my heart from loving you?
What can I do with this love of mine,
I try to kill it, but it just won't die.

It sleeps and dreams in the quiet dark
Hiding in shadows an eternal spark
That now and then erupts in flames
Feeding a fire I cannot contain.

The flames consume and burn my soul
'Til there's nothing left of me at all.
In plumes of smoke my soul departs
Leaving in ashes my shattered heart.

A heart that sought with desperation
To find in you some consolation
With kisses lost so long ago,
With secrets only we would know.

But lost forever now it seems
Our vows of love and whispered dreams.
Tell me my love, what shall I do
To stop my heart from loving you?

[Andrew, Jr.]

What a wonderful thread. I will have to think of what to say.

Thanks Wolfy!

You can't take the sky from me

You can't take the sky from me

But you can't take the sky from me...

When I see the color of blue,
I think of the sky;
Or when I see the color of red,
I think of apple pie:
I feel fortunate that
I am able to appreciate
all the color you bring to my life ~
Thank you for simply being you!

You can't switch your boats, trucks, planes, cars, tractors, plastics, packagings, etc. over to nuclear reactors because they are too dangerous for private use. There are options such as hydrogen combustion engines etc., but they will require a lot of time, resources, and money. And who has those things...and an interest in the energy market of the future? ME. Big Oil. PS. I'll bet you ten to a penny oil goes to 500 a gallon first. Puts a penny in the bottle and throws down.

On Sunday (yesterday), I said goodbye to you in meditation. Your body was already turned to ashes and shipped off to family in Arizona before I even knew you were gone, so I had my own private ceremony out in the woods where you and I wandered so often.

I found a circle of trees domed with vines.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1287/4701665857_425e58d4b5.jpg

I picked wildflowers and sat in the circle and meditated - had a last conversation with you. Imagined hugging you goodbye. Cried and cried. It was good to be alone in those woods with all that History and all those Feelings.

As I climbed back out of the woods, the sun was setting.

I plugged my headphones back in and continued listening to a lecture on Tolkien. The speaker almost immediately said, "Tolkien viewed death as a gift."

I hope it was a gift for you.

I know that a woman's duty is to help and love a man,
and that's the way it was planned.
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I
give you all the things I can,

Oh, it ain't no way (ain't no way).

Stop trying to be someone you're not.
How cold and cruel is a man
who pay too much for what he got?
And if you need me to love you, say, say you do.
Oh, then baby, baby, baby don't you know that
I need you.
Oh, Oh, it ain't no way.
I'll tell you that it ain't no way,
It ain't no way.
It ain't no way, baby, no.

My message today:Believe in who you are, trust in what you believe

[Andrew, Jr.]

I am walking with Dino in the woods on the walking path. We are alone. Nobody but us is in sight. Dino and I enjoy our time together walking and talking. Both understanding each other.

We come across a sign that reads "NO DOGS ALLOWED". We continue our walk. I am getting tired, and Dino is panting up a storm. It is time for us to head back home.

We turn around and head back. We both are startled to see a man under a tree. He has a large bowl of water. He tells me that I can have a drink from the bowl using my water bottle. No mention of Dino. Not a word or look. I thank him, give Dino water, pour some on his body, and offer the gentleman water, then take a drink of water for myself. I ask him where we are. He smiles, and says Heaven. Hell is a place where someone who would read the sign and leave their beloved dog behind, and walk on.

Beach Glass
by Amy Clampitt (http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15327) <~ link

While you walk the water's edge,
turning over concepts
I can't envision, the honking buoy
serves notice that at any time
the wind may change,
the reef-bell clattersits treble monotone, deaf as Cassandra
to any note but warning. The ocean,
cumbered by no business more urgent
than keeping open old accounts
that never balanced,
goes on shuffling its millenniums
of quartz, granite, and basalt.

It behaves,
toward the permutations of novelty--
driftwood and shipwreck, last night's
beer cans, spilt oil, the coughed-up
residue of plastic--with random
impartiality, playing catch or tag
or touch-last like a terrier,
turning the same thing over and over,
over and over. For the ocean, nothing
is beneath consideration.

The houses,
of so many mussels and periwinkles
have been abandoned here, it's hopeless
to know which to salvage. Instead
I keep a lookout for beach glass--
amber of Budweiser, chrysoprase
of Almadén and Gallo, lapis
by way of (no getting around it,
I'm afraid) Phillips'
Milk of Magnesia, with now and then a rare
translucent turquoise or blurred amethyst
of no known origin.

The Process,
goes on forever: they came from sand,
they go back to gravel,
along with treasuries
of Murano, the buttressed
astonishments of Chartres,
which even now are readying
for being turned over and over as gravely
and gradually as an intellect
engaged in the hazardous
redefinition of structures
no one has yet looked at.

As you sit, each of you in the light of your own heart, with the capacity for mindfulness and awareness, can each of you be a light unto yourself, where you offer yourself dignity, reverence, care, a sense of worthiness - that you're worthy to be seen, appreciated? *One of the last things the Buddha said before he died was, "be a lamp unto yourselves." Turn your light on, adjust the flame so it's not out of control, so it's a calm, steady burn that lights the room up, lights your heart up as clearly as possible. *And then may all the goodness in your heart have time - will you give yourself the time? - to let the goodness in your heart be expressed in the world around you.

Something that struck me today from the poduniverse -

There are two ways of being religious, both of which are found in every tradition and theological point of view. There is the religion of answers and there is the religion of journey. The religion of answers believes in arriving at some incontrovertible vision of the truth, which it then advocates and defends against all challenge - faith being the measure of the purity and energy of one's adherence to those answers, whatever heritage they may represent. By contrast, the religion of journey considers faith to be a forever unfinished, evolving approach to life's deepest questions. It constantly calls us to wider sympathy and understanding, believing that there is always more for all of us to learn, and that diversity of ideas, stories and ritual vocabularies is an important resource in that process of learning.

[Nat]

all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

it's more than easy at this time of night, alone with one's thoughts and memories, to take out the critical carving knives and slice up one's past actions and words, recent past to ancient past.

unforgiveness is the kind of thing that keeps slicing.

there once lived a person whom I could forgive no matter what. i met him back before I understood the pitfalls of adult love. on the days when I believe in reincarnation, I imagine I was his mother in a past life. Josh, the first person outside my family whom I loved, and I did love him dearly. I still love him dearly. When I'm old, if I make it to "old," I will still love him dearly. He still visits in dreams. He died this last May in a car wreck. Today is his 33rd birthday.

All week I have been so troubled about him. Just really feeling the loss. Every September I think of him. my one greatest failing and the biggest tragedy in my life was that I did not somehow divert him from his trajectory, that as a teen I didn't have the will, the power, the right words or actions to prevent or stop the violence in his life. I have already said most of what I need to say regarding him - here and elsewhere. Happy birthday to Josh, to the 14-15 year old Josh who has never grown up in my heart. In some other reality he could have lived an entirely different life. He could still be breathing. But that's not the way it happened, and it's hard sometimes to accept the unnegotiable reality of death.

He was the only person I was infinitely capable of forgiving. I never gave that to anybody else, least of all myself. and I made the mistake, repeatedly, of holding other lovers and friends accountable for the pain I have carried all my life. And for that, I have mountains of regrets and sad memories. On this imagined shore, I'm tossing bottles far out into the waves. Bottles of contrition, bottles of regret, bottles of forgiveness, bottles of kinder goodbyes, bottles of thanks. To all the people who ever hurt me. To all the people I ever hurt. Especially to the ones who have been on both the giving and receiving ends of hurt when it comes to me.

[JakeTulane]

Thank you for you. you have added more color to My world.

Fireflies

I touch God in my song
as the hill touches the far-away sea
with its waterfall.
The butterfly counts not months but moments,
and has time enough.
Let my love, like sunlight, surround you
and yet give you illumined freedom.
Love remains a secret even when spoken,
for only a lover truly knows that he is loved.
Emancipation from the bondage of the soil
is no freedom for the tree.
In love I pay my endless debt to thee
for what thou art.

*sits to write...thinking there is no good way to put what I feel*

Of all the things I have read and learned, a few stay in my head:
Always welcome a stranger with a smile...for you know not who they are or what thay have been through just to meet you.
Keep your fork...the best is yet to come...
Hope for the best but always be prepared for the worst.
Love, hugs, smiles, time, and kind words are all free...give generously
And, most of all, I wish you enough...

Since the day we met
we've learned so much about one another:
Like how we handle stress when it comes our way
whether it's a cloudy or sunny day;
to what we do when the tide threatens to suck us under,
or what makes us tick when it rains or we hear thunder.
Since I have known you,
I've learned that you have my best interest at heart:
that you care about what happens to me,
what breaks my heart;
Your acuity for seeing who I am
has been with us since the start.
I want you to know that your talent for driving me safely,
the sweetness you whisper to my ears,
the way you touch me, touch my heart,
the way you share your world with me wholeheartedly,
sustains me and surrounds me with the knowing, the feeling,
that you will always treat me with loving respect.
Spending time with you
and the way we discover what each day brings,
Is the most beautiful feeling in the world...
*I carry you in my heart*

-- To laugh is to risk appearing the fool..
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental..
To reach out is to risk involvement..
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self..
To place your ideas and dreams before the crowd is to risk their rejection..
To love is to risk not being loved in return..
To live is to risk dying..
To hope is to risk despair..
To try is to risk failure..

But the greatest hazard in life, is to risk nothing.
-Author Unknown.

*corks the bottle and tosses it out to sea*

2011 is about taking risks, for me.. something i've always been too scared to do.. i will put myself out there more, learn to live again, embrace friendships, do things i love doing, make wishes, dream dreams and see that even though things may not go the way i want them too, it's about lessons learned & growth... accepting changes and being more open minded..

and now , sending the bottle out, i'm paying it forward, hopefully!

One of the most useful skills we develop in meditation practice is the skill of letting go. Not necessarily letting go of the things of the world, though sometimes we might want to do that, but learning how to let go of the things our mind holds onto, latches onto. That's a muscle that can be developed, this muscle of letting go. If you haven't exercised that muscle, it's going to be rusty, it's going to be kinda awkward. You're not going to know how. There's a number of different skills that are needed, different understandings that are needed, that come into play that help us to let go. The more we let go, the more we learn that skill. Then, with time, that skill becomes strong. Then we can include wisdom as part of that skill - we can learn when it's wise to let go and when it's best not to let go. When it's skillful to let go, when it's not skillful to let go. -Gil Fronsdal (Audio Dharma podcast)

Finding a bottle, I'm curious about what I should do with it...

So with a pen and a page I started writing just what I'd say if we were face to face, just what you mean to me, tell you, these simple truths: be strong in the Lord, and never give up hope, you're gonna do great things, I already know, Gods got His hand on you, so don't live life in fear, forgive and forget, but don't forget why you're here. Take your time and pray, these are the words I would say.

Rolls up the paper, puts it in the bottle, corks it, and throws it as far into the ocean as far as I can. I hope it finds you well.

For Johnny Pole on the Forgotten Beach

by, Anne Sexton

In his tenth July some instinct
taught him to arm the waiting wave,
a giant where its mouth hung open.
He rode on the lip that buoyed him there
and buckled him under. The beach was strung
with children paddling their ages in,
under the glare od noon chipping
its light out. He stood up, anonymous
and straight among them, between
their sand pails and nursery crafts.
The breakers cartwheeled in and over
to puddle their toes and test their perfect
skin. He was my brother, my small
Johnny brother, almost ten. We flopped
down upon a towel to grind the sand
under us and watched the Atlantic sea
move fire, like night sparklers;
and lost our weight in the festival
season. He dreamed, he said, to be
a man designed like a balanced wave...
how someday he would wait, giant and straight.
Johnny, your dream moves summers inside my mind.
He was tall and twenty that July,
but there was no balance to help;
only the shells came straight and even.
This was the first beach of assault;
the odor of death hung in the air
like rotting potatoes, the junkyard
of landing craft waited open and rusting.
The bodies were strung out as if they were
still reaching for each other, where they lay
to blacken, to burst through their perfect
skin. And Johnny Pole was one of them.
He gave in like a small wave, a sudden
hole in his belly and the years all gone
where the Pacific noon chipped its light out.
Like a bean bag, outflung, head loose
and anonymous, he lay. Did the sea move fire
for its battle season? Does he lie there
forever, where his rifle waits, giant
and straight?...I think you die again and live again,
Johnny, each summer that moves inside my mind.

Placing my message in the bottle..to throw out to sea..hoping that bottle will find thee..across miles..across borders..and as it brings this message to you...from me...know I am always with you..feel me in your heartbeats...

[Sassy]

My message in a bottle:

Never underestimate the power of softness. A soft voice demands quiet to be heard and offers respect for the sensitivity of the listener. Soft hands treat life gently and show concern for others' feelings and desires. A soft heart is open to new experiences and gives receives love freely. Soft feet tread lightly on our mother earth, showing care for her creatures large and small. Walk softly through life, proud to do no harm and leave no trace except the remnants of love.

[Lady Pamela]

Adding a card in this bottle that simply says:
Set Me Free!

Meaning :
From this addiction to smoking , unwanted actions actions on my part and neagtive emotions holding me down!

For every time you think of me,
Dust me upon your body:
inhale the fragrance of my being
and may I always be on your mind
and in your heart;
each time you think of me
and dust me upon your body.

[kittygrrl]

*bump*

"Happy Samhain" you may have one wish:hk4:

[WolfyOne]

I completely forgot about this thread and I started it, lol

Always nice to see someone bumping it

So, as long as I'm here, I'll leave a note

I'm still writing on tree bark and I ran out of bottles...thinking no one got my last message

My message, be honest and open, gentle and true

*heaves the tree bark out to sea like a frisbee*

[Bit]

*gathers supplies, sits down and gets comfy*

You mean all the world to me
You always will
I love you with all my heart:
the sad places
broken places
joyful happy places
the places which still love others
the places which no one else has touched
all of it together,
my whole heart,
forever

*rolls up the parchment, tucks into bottle; seals bottle with cork and wax*

*sets bottle free on the waves*

*puts supplies away for later*

[WolfyOne]

How come Bit has all the supplies she needs where she is and I am still writing on tree bark :|

[Blade]

If you never have expectations of others they will never let you down. Only make expectations for yourself and hold your integrity and don't let yourself down.

[Bit]

How come Bit has all the supplies she needs where she is and I am still writing on tree bark :|
*tries not to giggle*

*leads Wolfy by the hand to the lil shack next to the palm trees*

*flings open the door and ducks, fakin' Wolfy out* Whooo, that's a lotta bottles! Thought I might get beaned there for a moment! *still trying hard not to giggle* :cheesy:

*hands Wolfy a note, sans bottle*

"Hi, Wolfy!
Gryph"

[WolfyOne]

*tries not to giggle*

*leads Wolfy by the hand to the lil shack next to the palm trees*

*flings open the door and ducks, fakin' Wolfy out* Whooo, that's a lotta bottles! Thought I might get beaned there for a moment! *still trying hard not to giggle* :cheesy:

"Hi, Wolfy!

My creative friend, you've been holding out on me...pffffftttttt!

I am thankful I won't have to use tree bark anymore.
Oh look, all those different colored pens


Wolfy, who is back in business....yay!!!


*picks thru the bottles*
Hey I sent this one to Gryph a very long time ago...............oh Bittttttttt

[Enchantress]

I am lost, in the deep blue wetness of the sea. My coordinates are unclear. But, if you locate the mermaids and singing sirens, you'll be ever so near.

Come, find me.

[DamonK]

They say you are looking for your soulmate and you just might be lucky enough to find that person. What they don't tell you is that your soulmate might be someone you already know. That person might be the one that has seen you through more hard times than anyone ever has and cared enough to love you through it all, no matter what you did, or what you said. That person might be the one having a yelling match with you on the phone, when one minute you're both crying, and the end, you're both laughing. That person might be the one that you can feel through the distance when something is wrong. And that first time you look in that person's eyes... You'll know. And you'll see the world much more clearly.

[kittygrrl]

Dear Finder,

Kiss the one you can't live without

Signed,
Your Genie-in-a-bottle

[Kenna]

As I uncurl the little piece of beautiful textured homemade paper...I find the enclosed words change my world and make it worth living for tomorrow again ...


"If this is what falling in love feels like, all over again every second of the day. Then I have been missing all its glory."

[TruTexan]

Dear Finder,
GET ME OUTTA HERE !! lol

[Kenna]

The moment you are ready to quit is usually the moment right before a miracle happens....don't give up.

[Kenna]

....In my world...as my lover, my best friend, my companion, my strength, my protector, my PARTNER ...you will always always be highly honored and respected as who you are ...and will walk in Our world knowing you take the lead....

Take all that in darlin....I will be fierce when taking care of you...soothing when needed....your HAVEN from those that don't acknowledge you correctly and your Home ..

[Teddybear]

My journey started by being thrown into the unknown waters to drift aimlessly till you found me. First I thank you for having the adventurous nature to look to see what was inside this bottle. Second I want to tell you that every second of every day is a precious gift to love and cherish. Some will feel like total despair, you will want to give up but know those days are few and far between and the other days will be filled with great possibilities for love, laughter and untold happiness. Live each second with the eyes of a child learning everything for the first time

[uglyboi]

Never try to be someone you're not, then people are like, "Hey you are not my husband" then they call the police.

[clay]

across the planes, we will find one another someday...there I will lay astral claims upon your milky flesh...enraptured in those searing flames of infinite passions...:rrose:

[clay]

I am sorry....::(

[Talon]

I love you just the way you are. 💓

[Kätzchen]

Bring more chocolate coconut treats,
My sleeping mask, noise canceling head phones,
Pain killers (p.r.n.supply), and extra pillows (please).

[Kätzchen]

Oh.....look how much time has gone by....

(Gets pen and paper out, cleans the bottle)

I need more candy, more suntan oil, and if you have time, please include more water, send more herbal tea and another book or several magazines to read. Crossword puzzles appreciated greatly.

(Puts note in bottle, tosses it out to sea on the next wave).

[clay]

As I slip my message into this bottle, I would wish the sea to carry it across the miles to you....so you can read my message.....you are so incredible, beautiful, witty, compassionate, fiercely independent, & gentle in your heart! I love this and so much more about you!

[Kätzchen]

Remember how you told me that when I became an old lady, that my lipstick would smear out into the invisible fissures of my lips, like some lady you saw at a cashier's counter at a Berlin coffee house café? Well, you were right. Except I found a fabulous Magical Moringa oil moisturizer and now I have avoided that plight (for the time being). I've missed you, all these years, but in case you ever find this note, just know you're loved. Deeply. Thanks for all the late night musings and wisdom you shared with me, years ago, dear friend.

All My Love,

:kissy:

[FireSignFemme]

Darling,
Sorry it's been so long.

[cathexis]

This bottle be found by someone who wants to travel the NN Continent or perhaps Central and South America. Would also like to stop in The Carribean, with a prolonged stop in Cuba.

Goddess of the Oceans, Yemaya, please send this bottle to someone with like-mind.

[C0LLETTE]

You left. Said you were just going to go out and get some milk. It's been 20 years. Come back. All is forgiven.

[MrSunshine]

All hope is lost. Save yourself... :sock:

Today, on a beautiful Winters day, resplendent with sunshine and chilly air,
I leave my thoughts on papyrus, scented by ocean air,
With sand and sea shells,
I leave my loving thoughts for you,
Dear friend of yesteryear.

If you find this message in a bottle,
Years from now,
Just know you made a difference in my life.

Thanks for the love and laughter
We once shared.
I’ll never forget you.
Ever. :stillheart:

:kissy:
