I said goodbye to my painting of Tortoise today. She is now heading to Paoli Gallery in Wisconsin where she'll meet her new owner. Not gonna lie, I'll miss that sweet face. 💚 As usual, I have symbolism from this wise soul for you today; tag someone who might benefit from some Tortoise wisdom! 👇🏼 • In this fast-paced world there is much to learn from Tortoise. While other animals scurry by, she walks without haste; she is Purpose in Motion. When feeling frazzled by the stressors of everyday life the Spirit of Tortoise is a tremendous ally. She encourages us to take slow deep breaths, center ourselves and be deliberate with our actions. Tortoise is also a kindred spirit to those with wanderlust. She needs nothing but the shelter she carries upon her back to define where she belongs; wherever she takes pause, she is Home. Be patient; be delighted in the journey - Be Like Tortoise. 🐢🙏🏼✨ • #wanderlustwednesday #tortoisesofinstagram #paoligallery #indianaartist #offshegoes
