Sea Turtle
Teachings
Teachings
One of the largest of the Sea Turtles, Green Turtle likes living in warm, shallow
waters where sea grass, Her favorite food, grows. She locates the vegetation with
Her excellent underwater eyesight. Swimming at great speeds underwater, She
travels near the coasts in search of sea grass.
If you find Green Turtle far out to sea, She is on Her way to Her nesting beaches.
She is meeting the male Turtles there for mating. Both male and female Green
Turtles return to the same beaches year after year. Usually, these beaches are the
same ones from which the Turtles were hatched.
Although Mother Green Turtle is awkward on land, She still comes up on the beach
to build Her nest. Mother Turtle drags herself on to the beach to dig a large hole
with Her flippers. Once She lays Her eggs, Mother Turtle pushes sand over the
eggs. Then, She hauls Herself back over the beach to the sea.
Green Turtle teaches perseverance. Watch Her as She struggles to lay Her eggs.
Graceful in the sea, Mother Turtle comes on land, an alien hostile environment, to
provide a nest for Her young.
Green Turtle’s Teachings Include:
“As about, so below, and within. The gentle turtle acknowledges the delicate balance
between ocean and earth, and reminds us of the importance of respecting both.”
