THE TORTOISE SHELL HAND


WE ARE NOT UNLIKE THE TORTOISE
CARRYING
OUR PROTECTIVE COVERING
OF WHO WE THINK
THAT WE ARE
AND
NOT LIVING
THE AUTHENTICITY
OF
WHO WE COULD BE

This is so true. I find at times my shell to be thick. I also have to watch that I do not hide in there too long. :o)

Blessings.

ts.
if the shell is the home and the home is where the heart is then every step of the journey is familiar in it's unfamiliarity.
one can still be in one's "shell" and assert one's truth in the universe.
thanks

the problem with humans is when we create shells we forget that the tortoise always leaves openings for head and feet..

to see
to express
to move
