The Sun and the Clear Pebbles of the Rain

This was the only message in the bottle when I opened it. It felt to
me like a swallow of Southern Comfort - powerful and with a great
after-glow. So, I wanted to post it here for everyone.

Sunny

"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the
desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across
the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading
home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting, over and over
announcing your place
in the family of things."

Shout out from Moretuca, Mars!

Good evening, from Moretuca, A small city in the Hrandu contenant of
Mars. How are you?

We are very fine here on planet Earth. We have many problems to deal
with as do all of the corporal planets, but we do try to deal and work
through such with wisdom and creativity. We are happy most of the time
with occasional angst which we start learning to deal with at an early
age. So....that's how we are! At least for now!

Look out the Window

What do you see out your window?
---
Power lines..I live on the second floor.
---
a garden with to much plants and weeds. And a ugly neighbor who's checking
himself in
the mirror.....
---
I see a thermometer on a tree,two alleys,two houses,two more trees,
---
KFC is what I can see
---
I see a house, a pond, a street, a mailbox, 3 squirrels, some birds, and a
partridge in a
pear tree.
---
GoT no windows in this room
---
i see the trees, but its quite dark....its peaceful
---
I see rain...what a miserable day in Pittsburgh
---
I'm at work, so I see an apartment building, trees, and a parking lot.
---
I see a beatiful yard of green grass,a maple tree full of leaves in the middle
of the yard,
and a pretty white and orange kitty cat lying under the tree........N.J. 9-17-06
---
I see a tree with its leaves hanging over our privacy fence and behind it is our
neighbors
garage. Oh....and beautiful blue sky.
---
Wow I want to live where the pond and squirrels are...
---
all i see is tall grass which reminds me I need to cut my lawn.
---
OMG... One I started!!! SO Bottlers.. It CAN happen!!!! Spread the word!!!
<><><><><><>
---
I see apple trees in our orchard...
---
I can see a beautiful blue sky that has a few clouds dancing across it.. I see
our back yard
that my husband mowed the lawn on yesterday so it looks shinny and neat. I see
our
golden retriever "Honey" laying sunning herself…(I think she might be pregnant
cause she
is getting bigger around the middle) I can see our storage shed that I remember
still has
boxes in it that are yet unpacked from our move 3 months ago. I see the richness
of life
going on and birds that fly by without a care.
---
It's night right now, but during the day I can see the back parking lot for our
apartment
building and the back of the grandstand for the county fairgrounds. Let's just
say the dirt
bike races, demolition derbies, tractor pulls, rides and the announcers can get
kind of loud
in my bedroom during fair time.
