Teachings of the Turtle Clan

Upon a sun-worn cedar limb
four turtles climbed where light grew dim.
Slow as prayer and old as stone,
they moved as if no step alone.

The river circled at their feet,
singing old rhythms soft and deep.
The leaves above like ancestors stirred,
each branch repeating an ancient word.

The eldest turtle softly said,
Rush is a path where wisdom fled.
The youngest listened to the stream
and learned that patience shapes a dream.

For turtle knows what mountains know—
the sacred way is often slow.
Not every journey seeks to race;
some truths arrive through quiet grace.

Their shells held stories, ring by ring,
of storms survived and healing spring.
Each mark a memory carried long,
each scar transformed into a song.

They climbed together, not apart,
for kinship is the strongest heart.
One slips, another bears the strain—
this is how love outlives pain.

The water whispered as it ran:
Endure, protect, remember, stand.
For those who move with earth’s old pace
will find the holy in each place.

So when the world demands you fly,
learn sometimes wisdom passes by
only to those who still can be
as humble as the turtle by the sea.

And in their slow untroubled climb
lives medicine deeper than time—
that gentleness, though small in art,
is one of the oldest strengths of heart.

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT this evening. I enjoyed a short visit with Fredwin over an iced chai latte, then a walk and talk enroute to my RV, which was basking under a moonlit sky…

Meet Richard Mayer… inspirator behind ISnft Photography

Went for a walk today part way around Mill Lake. The water lilies were blooming profusely. This pair definitely caught my eye as there was a ‘bonus item’ in the leaf next to these blooms…

Enjoy… Richard
