A Quiet Encounter with Nature | 10 % for beautycreativity
Hello friends,
Last Saturday, I stumbled upon a small tortoise basking on a sun-warmed rock near the edge of the community pond. The air was cool, yet the creature sat motionless, its weathered shell glinting in the morning light.
For a heartbeat, time seemed to pause as I observed this ancient soul, a living relic from a world where time moves differently.
The pond was a mirror of tranquility—duckweed dotted the water, and dragonflies hummed lazily overhead. The tortoise, no larger than a dinner plate, stirred only to blink slowly, its stubby legs splayed like a star.
I marveled at its quiet strength, a creature built to endure. I wondered where it traveled and how many seasons it had witnessed. It didn’t seem to rush, nor did it care about my presence.
In our fast-paced world, watching it felt like a gentle nudge to slow down. The tortoise taught me that stillness isn’t idleness—it’s a choice.
Sometimes, the most profound moments are the quiet ones. Let the tortoise remind us to savor life’s small, deliberate joys.
Next time the pond calls, I’ll linger. Who knows what wisdom other silent neighbors might share?
