In my dream we met in Scotland, staying in a small village with a beautiful nature, low clouds, wind and fresh sea air. We arrived and a lady who was accommodating looked at us with a smile as if she had something in mind. I was curious what was on her mind, but didn’t ask. She gave us a cozy room with a big window and view to the sea. Unfortunately they didn’t have a room with jacuzzi.
In the evening we went hand in hand to explore the village where we met this lady again. You started talking with her asking about the village, people living here, she was asking questions back about us, how we met and being curious about that we are from far away countries and writing letters to each other and admiring how tenderly we care about each other and spread light. She gave us herb tea and when it was a moment of silence she again looked at us and said that we remind her of another couple about which there is a legend in this area.
Many many years ago there was a girl living in this village, a kind-hearted girl helping others, sweet, but not lucky in love.
One day she came to a cliff thinking about her life that it seemed she had everything but her heart was saying you were not complete. Feeling extremely sad she wanted to jump out of the cliff, but instead she sat closely to the edge and wrote a letter about herself and threw a bottle with a letter into the sea. Months have passed. Coming to the cliff almost every day the girl was looking into the sea thinking what I was waiting for, praying to the sky. One day she saw an object down in the sea, she went down thinking probably it’s my bottle came back with the waves to the shore. Opening it she was extremely surprised reading the following words: “I’m Dave the Awesome – a brave captain from far away lands received your letter, a sweet lady from the cliff…” and he was writing about his adventures and asking questions about her. Thinking it was a someone’s joke, she kept the bottle and didn’t answer for a while. But she couldn’t get it of her head and wrote a letter in a bottle back throwing it into the sea.
So this was how a long conversation started between the girl from the cliff and a stranger Dave the Awesome from far away land. Every week she was finding a bottle with a message from becoming surprisingly quickly a loved one captain. In his letters he wrote how she became an angel for his far away adventures, protecting him and taking his heart. They fell in love with each other.
One day in a dark stormy night when no stars were seen, only strong wind and rain were falling into ground, a ship hit the cliff. The villagers safed many people among which was the captain of the ship. The girl was helping in the hospital when the captain saw her. They started talking and the girl felt strangly, she felt something familiar in this guy. Trying to get these thoughts out of her head, because she had already a loved one far far away. But suddenly the bottles with letters stopped coming, and this made her very sad and worried. She continued coming to the captain feeling somehow attracted to him for a talk. Once he noticed her sad and wet eyes, and she confessed her story to him how she loves her Dave the Awesome far far away. Suddenly he started crying saying: “Don’t you recognise me, my sweet girl, it’s me”. Smiling and laughing to each other she leaned on him and kissed.
Since then nobody remembers what happened next. Actually nobody remembers and there are no evidence left there was a shipwreck. One thing people remember, nobody saw this girl anymore. One said she behaved strangely, smiled all the time, spent too much time in the cliff, so one day being crazy jumped from it.
“But I believe”, the lady said, “the girl and the captain are still together travelling the world on the ship and brining the light and warm of their love to people around. That’s what i felt looking at you when you arrived, so i believe maybe it you coming finally back where your story started”. Next day we went to this cliff. Standing their in silence, holding each other hand, watching the sea and feeling maybe we were once here….
