Stopped at a street light …….. the wind lifted you from the road……and you skipped along and pirouetted and twirled….. and I watched a natural ballet unfold. Other leaves surrounded you,  circled and strode, but you were the lead and it quickly showed…. I watched as the troupe was driven from the stage.. And you…

Well…… let me see… I suppose a Turtle is a way to describe me……. For I carry my home everywhere I go……. My home my heart…… filled with an abundance of gratefulness for the gift of life and all the wonderful things that come with it…. It’s a sad day that the Turtle can find…

He’ll make room if you want to go…….. say a few words and mean it…….you’re on your way some folks don’t believe it and turn away…..but I’ve been to hell and there’s got to be a better way so I read this old book that is always new to me and life continues to unfold…
