Closing Words         

“Time passed and upon the beautiful land the trees climbed like ladders to the stars, the waters shone like mirrors, and the people saw their beauty. A breeze stirred and they heard its music. Tiny truths fell by day and night, gentle as the rain and snow, and the people found them and kept them in their hearts. And slowly, as the people met other people different from themselves, they began to see . . . themselves.  YOU ARE LOVED AND SO ARE THEY.” —Old Turtle and the Broken Truth
