Yesterday, I saved a Turtle! Maybe I saved a turtle... I didn't think anything of it yesterday but today I wonder. Did I make a difference? As I was coming home from eating dinner out a Turtle as crossing the road. I watched as a couple cars just drove right by it and so I stopped and put my hazards on and picked it up and carried it to the other side of the road where there was ditch with grass.
Firstly, I wasn't sure if I was even supposed to pick up turtles. Secondly, the person I think of when I see turtles is Mr. Obliques or the guy from afar and is probably going to aquire more nick names by the time I get to see him again so I apologize for any confusion... same guy! Thirdly, what the heck is a Box turtle crossing the road in a suburb?
Strangely, I wasn't that affraid of pick up the turtle since he retracted his head and limbs almost inviting me to assist him. I got a thumbs up from the old folks who drove by which was a great sign. I looked up what the Turtle represented totem wise and it said "wisdom, patience and guidance. Now I know I could sound totally silly assuming this connection however, someone once told me that when you are lined up or aligned with the universe it seems like life is more meaningful and their are less coincidences.
I think the turtle was a sign of "the guy from far away" not just because he studied turtles in college and when he geeks out on them it totally turns me on but because I was able to identify it as a Box Turtle which is the type of turtle he ungoed a 2 year project on discovering their mating patterns relating to this one pond. Furthermore, since Friday was a day of reckoning between us, with his voicing how we have developed expectations naturally and how over whelming it has become for him. Well the turtle has showed me patience is the key to seeing this relationship through. We are far away and though I am totally ultra when it comes to anything I do with him and this awkward situation I have to cultivate some patience and just chill out more which will only create more of a charge one way or another.
The rain! Got to work and noticed a sound banging on the warehouse door and was shocked that it just started to down poor. My first thought was back to my practice and how I was glad that rain was not going to influence my commitment to my practice. Second I thought was "god is in the rain" the quote from "V for Vendetta." Not sure why rain means so much to me but the way rain and wind feel on my skin puts me in a place of ease. I feel held, small, and nurtured all at the same time. So if there was a form for the formless it would be represented as wind or rain for me.
Thank you for the rain today a remarkable surprise to start off my week with a shinny newness.
