When I was about 15, I was walking out to the North Light (lighthouse) on Block Island and came upon a glass jar with a top sealed on with wax and a postcard inside. A message in a bottle. Literally. It blew me away. There was a note on the postcard with a date and the jar had been in the sea for about 5 months having come from somewhere near Providence. It was definitely a highlight moment of my childhood out there. Today while walking my usual morning walk on the San Francisco Bay - I come across this piece of sea glass that I almost threw back into the Bay ...before noticing my last name on it!!?? Angels must be out there watching over and getting a laugh.
