When I think of all the animals that walk, fly, or slither in our world, I think of the turtle as one of the most connected to the Earth. She steps slowly and quietly as she moves, feeling the pulse of the ground as she walks, almost as if she is in a meditation. I imagine her in deep conversation with the Earth as she meanders, listening to stories of what used to be,and how things will be in the future. And I imagine her telling those same stories to her young ones, teaching and guiding them as they grow.

| Gaia Earth Turtle, a contemporary folk art ornament by Jeanne Fry |
"Gaia Earth Turtle is the elder of all the Turtle Family. She holds the
wisdom for all and shares her stories daily. Her stories tell of our
connection with the Earth, how to care for her, and the importance of
our relationship with her. She begins teaching the turtle clan when they
are very young, so that as they grow they share the knowledge with
others. She steps lightly, with care and respect, as she walks upon our
living Earth..grateful for it's gifts."
