In a way, every being is a reflection of this timeless, turtle energy. To recongnize inner contentment persists, regardless of external circumstances, is to raise self-awareness.

But still, many people are not content with present moment even though there is no threat--that is desire. Even when there is threat, the turtle reacts for the sake of the moment. This alone has made her, in a way, wise :) Thanks for the additional Richard :)

It is easy to be content in the moment when there is no threat to one's well-being. True enlightenment gives one a peace at the core even in the face of adversity or physical threat to one's existence. Being in the face of non-being is contentment. One must find the way to that place in order to truly live in every moment. There is a peace that transcends understanding. My peace I leave with you.

From the wise old man who delivers profound words, to the silence of the night when one is all alone, to the hard concrete that reminds us to remain focused by grazing our knees if we fall down through not exercising enough awareness... No hurry... No worry... :-) I guess we will find Zen masters wherever we look.
