*braves the rain to dash to the beach*
The bottle's back! :cheesy: *wipes it dry, uncorks it as I run back to shelter* *unrolls new note gleefully* :cheesy: "too hot to cook, I already tried and now my dear, I'm utterly fried; for cooler climes I'm on the lam so ask someone else for biscuits and jam" Well! :hrmph: :hrmph: It's too hot to cook here, too *sigh* out it goes again. *re-rolls original message, pops it into bottle, corks it* *runs down to beach, tosses it into the waves, runs back to shelter* *settles back to wait* :cheesy: |
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. |
Believe in what is.
Believe in what was. Believe in beauty. Believe in the heart. (Truly) Be. before you leave. (this life) |
"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. |
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. |
The bottle's back! :cheesy:
*walks down to beach, pulls bottle out of water, dries it off* *takes it back, settles in, uncorks it, pulls out two new notes* Two? "I have neither butter, nor biscuits and jam; I'm in kind of a jam myself. I ate them all with much elan, didn't leave a crumb on the shelf." *unrolls second note* "she's grounded till she's 83 unless she makes more for me! signed, the grandkid" :blink: LOL! oops. Wellll, no help there! *recorks bottle with original message in it* *takes it back, tosses it in, wanders home to wait* :cheesy: |
My message today as I roll up the paper to put in this empty wine bottle: Live life to it's fullest everyday and never take others for granite. If you love someone don't be afraid to tell them today because if you wait for tomorrow, it will never come

"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." ~ Theresa Osborne ... from the movie, Message in a Bottle (1999). |

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. Druidcast Episode 3 |
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.

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. |
For my Eternal Beloved...
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? |
What a wonderful thread. I will have to think of what to say. Thanks Wolfy! :moonstars: |
from my fortune cookie, which seriously fits my feelings:
Joy comes from adventure today. Time to shake the world. |
I've been searching so many years. I'm tired, my heart tattered, torn and my body feels so very heavy. I am giving up hope of ever finding you. Where are you my beloved prince?
Heart Broken, Your Queen |
Life is uncertain...eat dessert first. :cookielove: |
*wanders back out into the sunshine, after several rainy days*
*sees the bottle bobbing in the water* :cheesy: *pulls it out, dries it off, uncorks it* "here on an island I sit and sigh a lot thought I'd found my personal Camelot sendin' this message to float on the waves please send me chocolate, I've had none for days" awwwww! :watereyes: *grabs fistful of chocolates, stuffs 'em into bottle* Hope they don't melt all over my note!! *corks bottle, tosses it back in the sea* *settles back to wait* :cheesy: |
"Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely, the good and the bad and make changes as YOU see fit" |
You have quite an imagination, Bit, and are a very descriptive wriiter - I could see you on the beach just then, bending, picking up the bottle from the waves, and wrigling your toes as the water ebbed and flowed...

"Hey son,
Since you won't answer the phone, emails or a drive-by-honk-my-horn-get-yer-azz-outa-bed message.... I'm sending you this message in a BIG bottle to remind you to do the dishes, take out the trash and mow your Gramma's lawn...Gramma can use the bottle to knock you silly if you don't do your chores!! Love Always, Do It Cuz I Say So and I'm Still Your Momma No Matter How Old You Are" |
I would give up my wishes
if you would grant me one perfect health for them. Places note in bottle, prays hard tosses it into the river. |
Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me There's no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can't take the sky from me... http://media.merchantcircle.com/1518...er_medium.jpeg |

Whoever this may Concern; There's no way to fix this oil crisis yet. Everything is about profitability. Other sources are not cheap enough to replace oil yet. 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. 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. |
there is no distance too far ...

Can you imagine my torture at having found this photo to send you in a bottle and that I'm now craving strawberry crepes and champagne??? Yours Truly, :blueheels: |
Never be ashamed of trying to love someone.............. BTW please send me a copy of Patti's dress.... Ain't no way for me to love you, if you won't let me. It ain't no way for me to give you all you need, if you won't let me give all of me. 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, if you're tying both of my hands? Oh, it ain't no way (ain't no way). It ain't no way (ain't no way). It just ain't no way, baby (ain't no way). Ain't no way baby (ain't no way). It ain't no way for me to love you, if you won't let me. 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. It just ain't no way. It sure ain't no way It ain't no way for me to love you, if you won't let me... no way...if you won't let me...ain't no way |
*looks at ALovelyKiss* noooooooooooooooooooo..... oh now biscuits just won't do, won't do at all! :|
*pouts* *retreats to plot new strategy* |
My message today:Believe in who you are, trust in what you believe

I read this somewhere on my cancer sites I visit
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. |
For me today (or for anyone else...)
