3WW: Approach Bottle Smooth

I once picked a bottle with a message from the sea, I wonder aloud about how big the ocean was and how I was amazed by the slim chance of picking up such a bottle. I can imagine how lonely the bottle was as it glides along the smooth sea water in the vast ocean. On the other hand, the approach to the beach after many years of meandering through the high sea could have brought joy to it as it was washed up and up to claim a space along the beach.

Our blogging life is just like the bottle as we glide along the passing days in this place called home. When someone’s blog page are washed ashore and landed at our screen, we wonder aloud as to how big the internet is when we find this blogging page. Likewise, when the owner found the comment on her blog, I’m sure she would treasure the joy of being washed ashore in another’s blogger’s screen.

Yes so big is the blogging world in the internet with the billions of websites until we bumped into something called universe. Don’t wonder how big the universe is. Watch this 6 mins video clip on how deep the real universe as seen from the hubble field.

    A very true and timely post. Every comment I receive leaves me with that sense of wonder at how they found me. Every blog I read makes me marvel at the depth and talent of writing.

    so… you think Sting might have been predicting the Blogosphere when The Police recorded “Message in a Bottle”? Interesting. Nice thoughts today.

    I never really thought of the blogosphere as being like the ocean, but I guess in a way it is. There are a few people I have met through blogging that I would have never been able to dream of having a connection with, and I’m thankful every day that I happened across those blogs.

    I’ve always wanted to write a message in a bottle and put it out to sea. :)

Try to be Mindful

"Try to be mindful, and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool. All kinds of wonderful, rare animals will come to drink at the pool, and you will clearly see the nature of all things. You will see many strange and wonderful things come and go, but you will be still. This is the happiness of the Buddha." - Ajahn Chah

5 Buddhist Precepts

1 abstain from harming living beings | 2 abstain from taking things not freely given. | 3 abstain from sexual misconduct. | 4 abstain from false speech. | 5 abstain from intoxicating drinks and drugs causing heedlessness.

My Daily Motivation

"Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue."
