Enlightenment and epiphanies can show up in some pretty strange ways. The Buddha found it under a Boddhi tree, Nelson Mandela in prison and spiritual guru Ram Dass through psychedelic drugs. Little did I know, mine would arrive in the form of a hard-shelled reptile simply trying to cross the road — a turtle.
Shhhh, I’m going to tell you a secret. One of my wife’s nicknames for me is turtle. I’m not going to tell you why, but it is with great joy that I read this piece over at HelpOthers.org - A Turtle Who Taught Me Kindness. Enjoy!
Stumble it!

Turtles rule. (That includes you, baby!)
Being more like a Tasmanian devil accidentally bred with a dozing house cat, it’s a bit of a stretch to remember to be all cool and determined and content with little by little progress. But it sure helps when I do push myself in that direction.
Well, that’s why we are good fro each other. I slow you down, and you rev me up (and up, and up, and up…)!
