Letter in a bottle discovered on the shore of a sea of trees in North Carolina, USA
Greetings fellow traveler, adventurer, wanderer, explorer! If your eyes are passing across this missive, then I have achieved my goal and made contact with another beyond these shores where I find myself. I have no doubt you are an intrepid soul - it takes a certain yearning spirit to read a letter sealed in a bottle, after all.
The first, and most sensible question you may ask is this: who am I? I am like you, an explorer of the heart, seeking and finding connection wherever I may. Honestly, though, who I am is far less interesting than where I am. Let me tell you about
this marvelous world I find myself in.
When my heartship crashed here, I knew I had found something special, something unique. The high mountain peaks are glorious, and the
valleys are sublime. It is truly a
picturesque place, full of beauty. I am impressed with how deeply
alive everything is. Though I have not been here long, I feel
welcomed and loved, and I know there is so much to explore.
Make no mistake, though. This land
can be very dark. Even in those
shadowy places, though, there is
beauty, a
thrill that reminds you of what it is to be human, to be alive.
And this is the part that I love the best! I hope you will believe me, fellow adventurer, for this is an extraordinary claim: there are words here, everywhere, a lyrical music that fills the heart! The waters whisper with
insistent rhythm, the clouds
form sentences, the
world echoes with stories. Here I am enveloped in language, living within
words. It is amazing, and I am amazed. If I can share even a fraction of my wonder, then this missive has been a success.
I invite you, fellow traveler, to visit this marvelous place. Set foot on these shores, and perhaps you will see yourself in the
rippled reflections of the whispering waters. Perhaps you will
consider something different from the perspective of these forested hills. Step near
the heart, and I doubt you will want to walk away.
Perhaps I will yet see you here, and perhaps you will meet and come to know
the living spirit of this place, as I have.

I hope this will serve well to introduce my dear friend,
medleymisty. I invite you to explore her world, her mind, her words, and get to know her yourself. It is an adventure worth having, I assure you.
