"I had a talk with a turtle the other day on a long walk in the forest with a friend and my young nephew who almost stepped on the box turtle. Young people exposed to and using cell phones and such early in their lives don't develop important and subtle things like awareness and peripheral vision, and miss the connections that hold the world together, or wither its ends.
Anyway, it was a marvelous conversation I had with the turtle. It helped my nephew become more aware. After that conversation I had I left the turtle with an offering. My nephew didn't miss anymore turtle sightings after that..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6.14.14
