Playing with ink might be messy, but it could lead to new arenas.
Maybe, use something other than a pen, like an ink dropper!

You can make more friends in two months
by becoming interested in other people
than you can in two years
by trying to get other people interested in you.
~Dale Carnegie

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.
When mindfulness embraces those we love,
they will bloom like flowers.
– Thich Nhat Hanh

Looking at “Yellows” by Lisa Rivas
Being present through painting is a wonderful moment of mindfulness.

A few years ago I had an astonishing dream of my deceased mother.
She was this amazing TORTOISE in this very exotic room.

 

Since then I started finding small Turtles and Tortoises here and there.
I would bring them to her as offerings asking: “What does this mean? — tell me.”

Through the years I always wondered about that dream. 
This is what I have found so far:

“Guidance” is the special gift of the TORTOISE.

The Tortoise carries “the map of our treasure” within the markings of it’s shell.
It requires deep patience and inner peace to be able to decipher it’s magical code,
this is achieved only through meditation.

Your own treasure will then be revealed.
