How does the sea turtle know when and how to break from its egg without teaching? A life in a dark shell and yet it knows just how to function, survive.
How does it remember where it was born, and know to return with its siblings, when traveling the vast open sea? How, with no light to guide the way, does it travel in this dark dark world?
Often we see the light at the end of the tunnel but fail to consider that we can see the light of stars billions of trillions of miles away.
The light is there. It's bright and everything we need. But it's not simply out of our reach, some of us will die before we get there because of all our failures to open our eyes. Others want to die before we get there simply because our eyes are open and we see that we just aren't good enough.
Some succeed though. I know few have a truly satisfied mind but...not us. Desires, dreams, sadness, loneliness, we fight in a dark tiny tunnel, no room to grow. How can we not get to the light, from the dark, when the turtle can travel the darkness without a light?
