Did you ever see the movie Message In A Bottle?  If not, you should!  And if you did, do you remember what the message was?  It was about whoever finds this, wherever it goes - give signs of life.”  Just as today, you are drawn to the message in a bottle.

If I give you the choice to choose the bottle today, would it be medicine, perfume, alcohol, or a container of other substances that perhaps we can’t think of now?  What is your favourite bottle?  If you say, ‘alcohol’, why did you say alcohol to the word ‘favourite’?  So therefore, let’s go see why it’s your favourite.  It would be like a genie: let’s get in the bottle with you.

Does the substance within seem to open a conversation with you, where you could literally see yourself as you wish you could be, but manipulated by the lack of reality that the ‘high’ that you receive is the lowest of your life?  Let’s see if the bottle could speak to you since it’s your precious company.  What would it say to you?  If it’s really your friend, would there be a fortune cookie in it with a little paper that will say: “not too much -  you may die tonight”?  Or, “you may kill somebody”.  Or perhaps “only you could understand me”. 

As you read this article, wouldn’t it be nice if the bottle could turn into a genie and suddenly, in front of you, you would find the person that you miss that perhaps you walked away from?  Or who couldn’t take anymore of the other person that you’ve become instead of the one that they know? 

Imagine, if you think little of yourself and somebody wants to be by your side.  Wouldn’t that person tell you by his or her presence, “I’ll suffer it out with you.” but without having to be like you?  You see, many times we look at life strangely.  Imagine, if for instance, a nurse or a doctor saw somebody suffering so much that they must attend to him and would say, “Let me suffer it out with you.  Push over in your bed.  I want to feel the pain because I love you that much.”  That’s the difference between a message - that we write for ourselves in a bottle that will agree with us without any objections.  The ones that are waiting home for you, or wherever, are those healers who are prepared to share your suffering because they see something good in you that your own message in a bottle has failed to write to you.

So if the bottle could speak, perhaps it envies the one who cries for you.  It doesn’t want to be lonely, just like you.  Isn’t it a form of expression of ‘talking to the wall’?  Does he ever answer back?  You will notice that when you start getting high on alcohol, suddenly you have a conversation with yourself.  And it’s not a mental illness – you’ll fend off everything that resists you.  And if you were to be put under hypnosis or a lie detector, you would find that you’re sitting not only on the chair but also in the bottle.  So whoever finds this message, like every bottle they come to be empty. And once you get the message, they’ll recognize those who were the greatest healers and the proof is that they’re still crying for you and still believe that one day they’ll mean something to you… that they may be the message, bottled up in your heart.

Thank you for reading. No brand name, because to me, you’re the bottle that I put the message in.  Have a drink with me.

Yours truly,
