Today I threw a message in a bottle into the Atlantic Ocean.
Inside the bottle is a hand-written letter from me and a part of a story I’m writing.
It took two tries.
Life is like that, you know.
Try and try again.
We will be known for our trying.
I threw it from the shore, but I couldn’t throw it past the breaking of the waves and it came back to me again.
So I went to the end of the Garden City pier and dropped it into the deep water.
Who will find it?
What will happen to it (will it be found)?
When will it be found?
Where will it land?
You may be wondering why I sent it out.
I sent it out as an act of hope and wonder, two things a writer always needs.
Two things the world needs, too.
