A Moment in Time: Blending In or Sticking Out?

Dear all,

I was riding my bike this week when I came upon a small pond. At the exact moment in time that I looked into the water, a large turtle popped its head up, and we locked eyes.

At first I did a double take. I mean, the turtle blended in perfectly with the water. It was nearly camouflaged.

And, of course, it made me think….

There are times we need to try to blend in. And there are times we have a responsibility to stick out.

Figuring out the right timing is, perhaps, the key to wisdom.

Now, I could swear the turtle winked its eyes at me. While that could have been my imagination, it certainly imbedded a memory I won’t soon forget!

With love and Shalom,
