Turtles can smile

Dream:

Sunlight surrounds me in the backyard jungle of our house as it peeks through a few grey clouds. There’s a slight humidity to the air that is synonymous with a bit of rainfall. It continues to thicken and almost seems to kiss me on the cheek as I walk through the grass. I am searchingĀ for the perfect aquarium accessories, and bits of earth that will create an ideal habitat forĀ the silver-dollar sized turtle resting in the palm of my hand.

“These will be perfect for you,” I whisper to the baby turtle while gathering a few stones, twigs, leaves and branches into a pile. “Don’t worry, you’re in great hands. I promise to take care of you and keep you safe from any harm. You will be the happiest turtle in the world!”

Upon saying these words, I carefully lift his shell up close to my face, and give him a telepathic hug of joyful emotions and love. Without a sound, the turtle slowly stretches out its neck as if to tell me a secret and closes its eyes tightly. His little mouth curls into a grin, bending upwards toward the clouds. Wow, I didn’t know turtles could smile!

It is certainly rare in my dreams to experience an event such as this. I feel tremendously blessed and well inside to receive this smile as it fills me with a spark of excitement. Some things cannot be explained completely with words, but I can tell you that this tiny creature and I shared a moment of gratitude – a moment that I will treasure even in my waking life.

As a lover of all things artistic, I especially enjoy writing and of course dreaming. Sometimes these paths cross and dreams turn into songs and drawings or paintings. My waking life and dream life are equally a part of my story.
