That message in the bottle sorry was very humorous. Thanks for sharing. I may have to try that this weekend when I drive out to the beach. Although, if I saw a bottle floating in the water I don't know that I would even think to pick it up and look inside.

You asked a good question though...what would be one's message to put inside? Now I have something to think about!

i wanna see aurora borealis somewhere in finland, in cold dark winter, with LOTS of snow...i think this would be like a lifetime achievement of my travelling...



kati, I live in Canada and have witnessed the Northern Lights many times a most magical experience it inspired me to write this poem
A.

AURORAS BOREALIS

The night descends and the show begins.
The pulsing clouds of
filmy arcs of light on
the northern horizon.

I watch in awe goose bumps
running down my arms…

The dance in the sky
billowing and swirling
like a woman’s skirt
the colors of a rainbow
propelled by some
distant cosmic wind...

I feel eternal, smitten, exhilarated …

The sky stays alive with rolling
luminescence called coronal auroras.
Decided structure and hues converge
disappear and reaper giving the sensation
of sound and reverberation.

It is magical, spiritual, wondrous….

Again and again in an intense display
the undulating veils are over powered
by swirling fluttering clouds that lurch
over the sky in a matter of seconds
in shades of red, green, and violet
lasting from a few minutes to an hour.

The atmosphere around me feels
supernatural and scared…

This is truly one of nature’s greatest spectacles
I feel fortuned and blest.

This is a very interesting thread! I am currently doing research for a new Canadian television series that will be on this exact topic! I am looking for people in the Toronto area who have a list and might be interested in participating in a television show (maybe tick off a couple of list items in one go if one of them happens to be 15 minutes of fame)!

If you are interested, please email me at 1001thingssubmissions@nextfilm.ca

Maybe this sounds stupid, but travel as much as I can and see as much of the world as I can.

Also at the top of this list is:

Have Children

Become a known writer, not well know, necessarily, just known

Swim with the dolphins

I love lists.... so organised... so satisfying to look back on all those dreams achieved.

I have a very long list, with over 500 items achieved, but the top 5 still to do are:

- skipper a yacht across the Atlantic (and not get sea-sick sick.png )
- learn to paraglide
- travel around south africa
- travel around the pacific islands
- work overseas again... somewhere new

I'd like to meet an alien before I die. Or at least see a spaceship from another planet...and be sure that is what it was.
