(8) WHY TURTLE HAS A SHELL

Once time had woven the biosphere into a living web of ocean and land life, great grandmother galaxy recalls, Earth was happy. Now she was ready to plunge ahead into the time of the becoming. For this task, Earth knew she needed wise ones to keep guard over the biosphere. Earth knew she needed a guardian for each of the living kingdoms, the animal and the plant. These two guardians would be responsible for maintaining the balance of Earth's biospheric kingdom until the end of the time of the becoming.

Since turtle already contained the lore of time, Earth chose turtle to be the guardian of the animal kingdom. Since tree was already the keeper of time, Earth chose tree to be the guardian of the plant kingdom.

Now Earth spoke to turtle: turtle, on your back are the thirteen scales which hold the knowledge of time called the thirteen moons. This is a cosmic power that you carry on your back.

The reason you have the knowledge of time on your back is because you possess a shell. Your shell holds the knowledge of the whole Earth. Your shell is a demonstration of the cosmic power of time which the whole Earth weaves into the living mantle of the biosphere.

Deep within your shell body is like my dense and living core. The flesh that attaches your body to your shell is like the mantle between my core and outer shore. The limit of my shore of time is the biosphere. Turtle, your shell is like the living mantle of the biosphere.

The top of your shell with its thirteen scales shows how the biosphere is ruled by the law of time.

Thirteen scales to reflect
the path of thirteen moons
thirteen moons to guide Earth's spiral journey
but once around the sun
thirteen moons
one Earth
one sun
one turtle
constant to the law of time

Turtle, these thirteen moons move in a regular pattern that holds the biosphere together in time. Like the living pattern of your thirteen scales the biosphere is governed by time. Time changes cosmic energy into the living patterns of life and Earth. Turtle, the sturdiness of you shell shows how time keeps the biosphere constant and steady.

The softer underside of your shell shows you are vulnerable and sensitive. You are wise among the living because your shell is your home. When you need to withdraw and know your own nighttime you in your four legs, head and tail, and retire to your own core of time. With your four legs you can navigate on either water or land, bringing your message of time wherever you go. With your head and tail you can navigate your body by my tow magnetic poles. Turtle, you are wonderful in your shape and form in time!

If ever that time comes and the youngest of my children forget your mother, then please, turtle, display yourself, share your teaching of the biosphere, so that the human children of the Earth can remember the unity of time.
