message on the bottle
as
i’m on my way home late night from work, i came to see this peculiar
thing at the sidewalk—a mini glass ship in a bottle. what captured my
interest on this object is not the item per se but by who created it. i
learned from the vendor that it was made by an ex-convict. after
careful reflection, i realized that it’s not easy to cover up and be
accepted again from past mistakes against the society that demands his
silence; and, by merely exhibiting this piece of art to the world
symbolizes that they too have a room to start a new life and be counted
again among us.
may our holiday season create crisp appreciation on all the blessings we received!
