The Bottle
When I was a little boy, I used to watch old shows about people being stranded on an island. They would build a fire, they would arrange rocks to spell; S.O.S and so on, as a cry for help. But the one tangible item that I always found striking, was the bottle with a message in it. One, how did they get the bottle? Two, where did they get the pen? Three, what writing utensil did they use-pen, pencil, charcoal, blood????
So the tide always comes in, or low tide at night. Have you ever tossed anything into the ocean, well like a boomerang it always comes back. Unless you have a arm like Nolan Ryan, then quite possibly you can hurl it past the tide, so it really does go out to sea.
As human beings, we are the bottle and we all have message inside of us--one that others pick up good, solid characteristics from. And others, well not so good. But bad or good, we all influence each other in one fashion or another. We, meaning you and I are a walking, talking messenger. Some know it, others don't. Our communication skills, are wardrobe, our language, and even our traits tell a lot about us to the outside world.
Each of us, you me and even Dupree are bottle floating around this vast planet. We have so much information to shape, mold and guide others with. Educated or not. Blue-collar, tall, skinny, old, teenager--we all have a message for others, we are the enablers to others growth and wellness. Some we learn good tangible skills, others grow through failure and set backs, yet, we see them as guideposts.
The bottle with a message, is more for people who stranded. people who are crying for help, and have lost their way. Yet, you and I in one fashion or another were, or are lost. We needed help, we needed guidance, we needed tutelage. Maybe a leader, teacher, coach, fellow student, Priest, Rabbi helped answer some of your questions as to why are we who we are????????? What is our mission, if we choose to accept it. Sometimes it's so simple, other times we have to ask the cat which way to go, and if we don't care--his reply is either path or choice will do.
This blog will build on that very question as to why are we here????
We all are searching for something, some kind of meaning, a Bat signal of some sort in the clouds calling us to well, our calling. In reality we have already in us, we just need to release it.
Tune in tomorrow, same bat time and same bat place.
