Today the Turtle wanders onto the path to share with us that sometimes we need to ponder what is happening around us before we act on it. Sometimes it is worth slowing down our emotions so that our logical and the more observant part of our brains kicks into gear so that we can understand things from all angles. Things aren’t always as they appear at first glance and we owe it to ourselves to collect all the facts so we have a clearer picture of what is going on.
Often we are ready to just ignore things because we just are impatient and want things done quickly, but as Turtle teaches us it is not often the way to move forward in positives, for when we are quick to move or act … that is when we tend to miss things and then stumble into the negative patterns that life throws at us.
So slow down today… bask in the sun a bit and consider all things that will impact your decisions and your life circle. After all aren’t we all worth that time and consideration? Don’t know about you …. but I am!
Turtle teaches us that we need to remember to walk our paths slow and steady with determination, for if we do our goals will surely be met. They remind us that sometimes it is best to walk on solid ground strong and precise with each step, and at other times it is better to dive into the waters and swim with the current allowing life to assist us in that forward motion.
Turtle helps us to ground reminding us that slowing down and pacing each step will help us build confidence for as we walk at this pace, we will see more of what is being shared with us by the world around us… knowledge of the “Old Ones”. Slowing our pace, calming our breath, listening to our heartbeat, centering our spirit so that we are in balance and sync with the rest of our world.
Turtles remind us that what we need is provided for us, that we need to remember the beginning, the simple and honor all that is Sacred, for it is part of who we all are. Be humble, grateful and make the most of what we have and what we are offered.
“I am Dedicated to Educating and sharing Culture with the World. It is not enough merely to teach the ways of our Elders. We must honor those traditions by sharing and educating the World. Inspiring others …Inspiring our Youth. Through the Music… the Arts…the stories…”
Many Blessings of the Day
