Unsure and unaware and unable to decide where to go?
Be still, silent, open and observant without judging.
This way or that way, moving fast or slow, watch your thoughts always.
I came across the baby Snapping Turtle on one of my walks. At first I thought this was a small odd-shaped stone on the road. As I got closer I realized this was a baby Snapping Turtle.
I was worried that this little turtle would be run over by a car. I picked this little one up and moved them on to the grass nearby. This reminded me of a time about 10 years ago where I came across a similar situation but with an adult Snapping Turtle.
At that time though, I was walking slowly behind the adult Snappy Turtle and encouraging it to walk across a road towards a marsh. Fortunately, a local police officer was driving by and noticed what I was doing. They stopped and helped by blocking the road.
