I had another amazing kayaking yesterday. It was a bit different than usual. There was so much more activity in the water. I enjoyed the flow and very calm conditions in the water. It felt so good and soothing for my soul. These kayaking trips have become now like dates with myself.

Suddenly I saw a little something floating in the water. I approached very slowly and it was obvious there was a turtle there…

The turtle almost like circled around me and in between put the head out and checked me out. It is not every day there is an Estonian woman kayaking in these waters after all. So after the sightseeing the turtle felt complete and took off to the depths of the Mother Ocean.

WIthin this 10 minute encounter I felt peace and tranquility coming to me in entering my being, my presence and life. I felt embraced by the turtle like it was a huge African mama telling me everything will be okay. All I needed to do was to slow down and take my steps carefully. Even thought the speed of the movement of the turtle was not very high, I could feel the wisdom and knowingness of the turtle in the air. I sometimes envy them as they carry their homes all the time on their backs and do not have to pay rent for it. What a blessing. I hope they understand what a big asset this is these days! 

The turtle came very close, so I could also take photos, to share it with the world and remind us all to speed up the slowing down and be present in this very moment and enjoy it fully. And that out home is always with us, even if we are not the turtles, it is in our hearts and we do not have to pay rent for it. We have it all. We just have to step into it!

I am so grateful to you amazing turtle for this amazing message and time together!

Here is a little video to meditate with me from the experience.
