Thank You @ImperfectCJ for inspiring us to take a #beautybreak 😘👌🏼💝.

I took this awhile ago, and wrote the fallowing caption.

“Beauty overlooking a parking lot, waiting for her new crown of blossoms to be admired by all who rush about.“

Not sure which tribe this comes from, but this has always been a favorite legend of mine. Couldn't source online, so I have written it to share with any Litten friends who may need this right now 🐢🫂💝.

Turtles once had shells without lines. Their shells were like glimmering gemstones.

Then one day, a turtle was born to a little pond, and this little turtle would watch the flying creatures while growing up.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal
Year after year, “Little Turtle“ dream and wished that their sparkling shell would magically transform into a pair of wings.

Then one day, two giant birds came visiting Little Turtle's pond.

Little Turtle watched them with awe, their pearl-like beaks, their incredible claws, and their massive wings.

Little Turtle approached the two birds with caution, and when close enough to be heard, asked, “Can you teach me to fly?“ (edited) 2w

AnnCrystal

The two birds looked at Little Turtle and laughed, only to quickly apologize when they realized the turtle had been very serious and very hurt by their laughter.

“If we had the ability to carry you, we would be happy to take you on a flight. But we cannot teach you to fly little one,“ answered one of the birds. “Turtles do not have wings.“

👇🏼 2w

AnnCrystal

Little Turtle considered their reply and asked, “What if I found a strong branch, one I could bite the middle of while you two took hold of each end. You could fly me to the sky that way.“

The birds felt bad about having laughed at the poor turtle earlier, and so they agreed.

When Little Turtle was lifted from the Earth, such a pure excitement rose within. The pond grew smaller and smaller and little turtle waved at friends and family.

👇🏼 2w

Up, Up into the sky, the birds flew in synchronized flight. Little Turtle saw the tips of trees, and was flown into puffy clouds, and other birds came to join the flight.

So completely thrilled, Little Turtle wanted to thank the birds who had made a wish come true.

As Little Turtle's mouth opened, the words of gratitude were swiftly replaced by a scream.

All the birds watched in horror as Little Turtle plummeted back down to the Earth. 2w

AnnCrystal Little Turtle's sparkling shell shattered upon landing, and called for help as the turtle lie badly injured upon the Earth.

The Great Winds heard the call for help, and took pity on the turtle.

“It is good to dream, and it is good to make efforts to achieve your dreams,“ the Great Winds told Little Turtle, “This is good so long as you are always true to yourself. We are all born with purpose.“

👇🏼 (edited) 2w

AnnCrystal “Promise to honor who you are each and every day, value your beauty without vain, and believe you're perfect just as you are,“ The Great Winds said.

When Little Turtle promises, The Great Winds healed the turtle.

From this day forward, turtles were born with lines in their shells, these lines were left to remind all turtles and all who learned this story about this teaching from The Great Winds.

Bookwomble I recognised elements of this story from the Greek fables of Æsop and the Indian Panchatantra, though, as your post says, the meaning or moral of the story is culturally distinct wherever it appears. There's a partial list of folklore stories of this type at this link: https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/type0225.html which you may find interesting 🪿🐢🪿😊 (edited) 2w

AnnCrystal @Bookwomble 👏🏼🤩👍🏼 I love Greek legends (my brother, Ulysses was named for the Greek Hero Odysseus). I've been meaning to read Aesop's Fables...I am most familiar with the wolf 🐺 in sheep's 🐑 clothing and The Tortoise 🐢 and the Hare 🐰.

I never read many Indian legends. I need to research some.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and for the link 👏🏼☺️👍🏼🐢📚💫. 2w

Although this is based on a real life event, I didn't give real life details...I wanted to capture the sum of the scene.

I've caught the news coverage twice, and believe it was a Jacaranda that the poor woman held onto.

If a Jacaranda, it's strangely symbolic. Legend has said that this tree was blessed by a Goddess.

This Legend is in the next comment.

Then following the legend, there is an All Creator prayer. Creators Ancient and modern.

👇

AnnCrystal From the Webs

One Amazonian Legend tells about a beautiful bird named Mitu who landed on a jacaranda tree, carrying a lovely Goddess of the moon. She came to live among villagers and share Her knowledge and ethics.

When ready to leave, She adorned the Jacaranda with beautiful blooms so that every time the tree blooms, Her teachings will be remembered. She than returned to the sky worlds to be with Her soul mate, the Son of the Sun.

👇 4mo

AnnCrystal Let us Pray to the Creators of all people, asking the Creators to protect the Freedom of The United States Of America and the Rights and the Liberty of All Citizens of this Great Nation.

For the Nations of the World, that America will help them to Achieve Or Maintain Peace, Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity.

For the United States President, that he/she will be Guided to Act Wisely for the Common Good. 4mo

AnnCrystal For those Elected to Serve Us, that they will Respect Our Liberties and Defend the Rights of the Unborn, the Aged, the Poor, and Racial Minorities.

Creators of all people, may you hear our cries and Grant these Prayers we make for Our Beloved Nation.

AnnCrystal Extra note for Catholics,

Our Pope Francis showed us the Power of Prayer. He always asked for Prayers, and when he needed them most, even people from different faiths Prayed for our Pope. It was a Miracle that Pope Francis recovered enough to return to the Vatican in time to celebrate Easter with us.

Let us now Pray to Pope Francis, for him to ask our God for the Peace and Freedom Earth so desperately needs 🙏🏼🌍🌎🌏✌🏼.

There are different versions of this legend, my favorites are the longer ones. I found a shorter version of the beginning from the web so I could share here for International Women's Day 2025.

I always liked the beginning, because I felt it hinted how men need to show respect to all woman... whether they recognize the woman as a Holy person or simply human.

Have A Power-Infused Women's Day!

kspenmoll Such a beautiful post and reminder. Today I was in a grocery store & tried to reach something- a man stopped & helped me. I thought he worked there so then I asked him a question. He said to me that he didn‘t work there. He was just helping me and I said how kind that was and he said to me, he tries to teach his children to be kind and I told him I was a teacher and so happy to hear that -lovely encounter. #BEhumanKIND (edited) 8mo

This is political, please do not continue reading if you prefer. My goal is not to offend anyone ✌️.

Found this article earlier today.

✊🏼🐻🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸🌍🌎🌏🙏🏼💝.

The Stock Market took a second-day tumble. Many are holding tariffs responsible, and as true as that may be, I am hoping that this is the beginnings of consumers finally uniting!

I just hope that consumers can continue this the whole time little t holds office...and beyond.

👇

AnnCrystal If we're going to save the Earth, democracy, and humanity...this needs to be more than one day, or a few weeks, it needs to be a lifestyle choice. After all, no Earth, no water, would equal no us...as in humanity as a whole.

Balibee146 Well done to all participating. I feel so worried for my US friends. I'm in the UK but already making even more careful choices about what I buy, where it is manufactured (very complex arghhh) and who owns the business selling it to me. Buying local and independent and small business as much as I can. 8mo

AnnCrystal @Balibee146 ✊🌞 that's fantastic 👏🤩. It is best for our environment and our communities. Sometimes it feels like a game. Trying to figure out how to read food labels and where to find what is needed is the most difficult.

Scotland 😍💝💝💝. 8mo
