Emerging

Michelle R, posing as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (not me), on Halloween in Mysore.  Her turtle impersonation is quite impressive.  Don’t you agree?

Lately, I have felt a lot like a turtle hiding inside my shell, just waiting for the right time to emerge safely. Like many turtles you may have watched, I have timidly poked my head out (into the yoga class and mysore setting) a couple of times and, a bit more frequently, let my legs explore ground (or mat).

Each time, I feel more and more courageous as I test the waters. I feel like, sometime very soon, I will be able to emerge from within and continue my journey at a slow but steady pace.
