Creating Takes Time

I watched a turtle the other early morning. Such is the byproduct of being on call. Up in the middle of the night when only nocturnals are also out and about. But I was there for a reason. So I watched.

Slowly, deliberately and with extreme labor, I watched the several hundred pound beast pull itself out of the water and up the hard packed sand. Then into the soft sand, with less tractable footing. For over an hour she pulled and seemingly huffed and puffed to get ashore to her "spot". Then she dug for another hour and then laid her eggs in the bottom of a pit created by her own urine. And then, the march back to the sea for another hour. Truly an amazing thing to watch and experience.

Things worth doing, that create life and abundance, are worth doing slowly and deliberately. And perhaps, in the middle of the night.
