This post is a prequel to the following story: A JAR, (published July 8 2021) a bit of background here~
The original Memory Jar from the post * Message In A Bottle was published on this blog, Out of the Blue, on Jan 13, 2913. What Fun! Just beginning to collect memories then with a few positive notes and now she expands to a fully stuffed jar!
I picked out a written message at random and it read:
"SOMETIMES I AMAZE ME!"
When I see this original jar, and hold it in my hands, I think of my young as a child and her father working together on the small farm. I can feel the barn and the horse and buggy and the cow and a few chickens, a small and rustic farm.
I always loved the **aqua blue jars, made in Indiana USA from local sands that surprisingly contained chemicals that spontaneously spawned the glorious colors in the glass.
I will sift through the message memories when "time and space permit" and add some new ones:
What will they be?
STAND LIKE A TREE
THERES IS A PLEASURE IN THE PATHLESS WOODS
ALL IS WELL
KEEP MOVING FORWARD, ONE STEP AT A TIME, QUIETLY AND SLOWLY
HELP IS HERE
