Dreams in a Bottle

Our hopes and dreams and messages are sent out in a bottle.
The only way to find success is to write it down and then let it go.
We cannot direct that bottle to find the right spot.
We can only allow that hope to become a part of the greater flow of life and perhaps it will find its way back to us.
And as that hope and dream floats away, it may touch others along its path.
Sometimes our dreams were designed to give that hope away to another.
Sometimes our dreams require a lot of time and the skills of others that we do not currently have.
But when that dream comes back around.
Often it has grown from its journey away from us.
As it was allowed to find its own way, it can change so much that we do not recognize it at first.
Only by sitting with it in silence and listening to the beat of its heart can we recognize the energy signature of our own dream.
That is when we recognize that this current evolution of our childish wants has matured into something of substance and carries its own purpose and potential.
While we might have given an idea life, now we see that it has its own life … of its own making.
And now, it has returned to show us perhaps what we did not know we wanted. It shows us a greater gift than we aspired to grasp.
And together, each of us becomes more whole.
