Send Your Message in a Bottle

Impromptu Letters | Distractions, intention, love letter, Prayer

How many times do we right a love letter and stow it away, only to be found when it is far too late? Is there any good reason why we can’t write one down today and forget about those thoughts that swirl around us? Of course not. Messages are energy; they float omnidirectional, from giver to recipient and everywhere in between. Isn’t it time to enable the pen to float as effortlessly as your thoughts?

When we fail to realize the power of the written word, even one word, we fail to realize the breadth and depth of our love for one another. One word has the power to heal or sting. A word not spoken has no power unless it is written down, or said softly as a prayer. If all you said to someone in a note was “my love for you grows stronger everyday”, and left it at the corner of the kitchen table, what might be the outcome? We may never know, and that’s the point.

If you bottle up these notions, instead of unleashing them in the form of spoken loving words or a tender note, there is no giving, no energy and no moment of intention. All we can do is put aside our distractions and take the precious time we have, then only time we know we truly have and make it count. From a spiritual perspective, we will never be given more than the moment we have as you read this text. Spirit is not beholden to time past or future, but does travel through it.

As you travel, make the most of it. Put pen to paper, like you never have before. If you have then move forward and put those words into action, the greater of the two energies, for in action there is perpetual motion. We may never fully know to the depths we reach out to someone when we leave a message, prayer or deed. That is not for us to determine. It is however, ours to part take, day in and day out.

Don’t shelve your thoughts in place of circumstantial moments. Take precedent over your life. Enable yourself to act upon the moment, the entirety of your feelings for others should always be expressed when the moment strikes. This of course has no reflection upon the hidden, dark or less moderate feelings that stem from a lack of love. Those feelings are also something that can be turned around, if spoken with the will of understanding another’s voice.

Here and now is the only time we have available. “Oh, I’ll do or say that tomorrow”. The fleeting breath leaves us quicker than the blink of an eye. If the inner fortitude to deliver such a loving message escapes you then write it down. Send that message in a bottle, so to speak and surprise yourself and those around you.
