“Sometimes I am a social butterfly, meeting and talking to everyone. Most of the time, however, I am like the turtle — I hide in my shell”. That was a unique insight from my son.
As I get a older, outside my students and my craft, I am turning more and more into a turtle. I find idle chitchat exhausting. My ideal evening is at home with my bride and my dogs. Good wine and Rohini’s cooking. And yes, the kids are always welcome.
I like my boring life. My quiet evenings and the solace of my home. My butterfly days are over. The turtle days are here to stay.
