Eat Like a Turtle, Walk Like a Penguin, Sleep Like a Dog: an Allegory for Daily Living

The story begins when Moses Gambler, a waiter in a small town restaurant, serves a mysterious customer one day. Moses is a young man whose heart is filled with questions about the history of the world and how to live. When Moses serves Seraph one morning he is confronted by her on the question of happiness and the art of living. Seraph captures the attention of Moses with the questions she asks and peculiar phrases she repeats. After their first encounter, she gives him a book set in an allegory about Progress -- a new world created by an adventurous spirit named Worker, and the history of how the people live, and Worker's desire for redemption and restoration of light and happiness to a chaotic world. Upon reading the first few pages, Moses discovers the remainder of the book is missing. Struck by the unusual nature of the book, Moses meets Seraph at a popular coffee shop each week so that they can discuss the purpose of living and the strange events surrounding the book. After each meeting, Moses begins to learn more about the story of Progress and the way of Seraph. Shrouded in magic and mystery, Moses soon finds himself living in two worlds: the enchanted pages of the world of Progress and the enigma of Seraph. Along his search to unravel their mystery, he discovers a new meaning and feeling about his life and world. In the tradition of tales about the spiritual journey, Eat Like A Turtle, Walk Like A Penguin, Sleep Like A Dog is a story of a waiter in search of truth and meaning and the teacher who guides him along the way.
