I am Turtle.  I cover the Earth.  I live in forest, bog, desert, mountain, river, pond, and ocean.

          I am Turtle.  I am Mother Earth's telegraph line.  I survey the state of Nature.  I have done so through all time.

          I am Turtle.  I am not separate from Mother Earth.  I live always in her bosom.

          I am Turtle.  I am ancient on the Earth.  I have heard my Mother's cries.  I have seen my brothers be born and die.

          I am Turtle.  I am the connection.  I am the connector.  I am the connected.  I am my Mother Earth.

          I am Turtle.  Reconnect with Mother Earth.  Put aside the illusion of separateness--of conquest.  Work with your Mother and be your best.
