Hey Baby Turtle! Have you heard about your mother?
The Birth
On a cold bewitching night just as this, along with hundreds of others, your mom hatched out gazing up, looking at those stars up there. She was drawn by the chemistry of waters and hustling currents into the sea ahead, well but then, who would'nt? Dodging all predators imaginable, she carried herself into the turbulent waters knowing little about her tough "Lost Years" ahead.
The Juvenile Age
The vast ocean held multitudes enough to teach her, to test her and gift her. Knowing less about her strength, she surfed mercilessly across the brine all through her " Lost Years" in search of forage, in search of mate, in search of herself!
The Adult
She was wandering breathlessly without any dream, desire or direction until you! In you , your mom found her purpose baby. Carrying you within, she urged to return to this same land where she was born, to honor her birth. So that way, after years of expedition, she anchored herself on this shore to nest you.
After nesting, she buried you all intact beneath the sand under the grasp of nature. Just for those few minutes, however exhausted, she gave you all the care that she could offer. She disguised the nest flat, danced over it, dusted off the trace along with her tears and scrolled back into the oceans, leaving you once for all!
That was your mother, my baby girl...
And it's your turn now. You have an entire ocean ahead to swim over. Off you go my child. And remember to return back like your mother! Strong! Duty bond! and DETACHED!
