TURTLE MODE

Saw this on Facebook this morning.  It so perfectly parallels the way I think these days.  The turtle taught me the value of receding into my shell and staying silent until storms pass.  It's my "turtle mode."

Turtles remind us to value the slow approach, rather than fast.  I now love to sit and ponder.  I love the word 'ponder.'  The world can be our own personal think tank.  When we're silent, Momma Nature tells us things we otherwise wouldn't hear.  Pondering allows fresh thoughts to flow through me.  The turtle teaches us to be comfortable in our own space.
