Life

I went for a walk today
and saw a medium size turtle;
it was coming out of the bushes
and wanted to cross the street.
I stopped to greet it,
to admire its gorgeousness,
its brown shell with yellow circles,
its extended neck, yellow color lines
dazzling to my sight.
“Be careful with the cars
as you cross the street”, I said.
I continued my walk not to startle it,
then I thought for a moment:
I love to walk and see the unexpected,
never knowing with certainty or beforehand what I might find in the journey, I imagine the turtle was thinking the same thing, so like me, it decided  go for a walk to encounter life.
I was a giant in the eyes of this beautiful turtle; it got startled when it saw me; when I saw its beauty and fragile form wanting to explore and to cross the street, then it occurred to me that at the end things can be seeing from many different points of view.
