«The first woman sat off her cabin when the turtle woman came to visit her. The first woman had been busy all morning. I was tired and still had a long list of things to do. The turtle looked perplexed:

«Why are you so tired?» He said

«I have a lot to do,» said the first woman «and I’m so overwhelmed that I can’t finish everything.»

«Oh,» said the woman wisely, «You haven’t heard yet.»

The turtle sat next to the first woman. «You need to let go and float«He explained.» It flows with the ocean currents and a small fin gesture will take you to thousands of miles. »

«How can I float?» The first perplexed woman said. «I am a creature of the earth.»

«The flow is around all of us«Said the turtle, gesture towards the hills and trees,“ And your heart and joy are your fins. Feel where your joy flows, feel where your heart opens, and joy will take you to your desire. You are never far from abundanceHe smiled. «You just have to float there.»

So the first woman released her list of tasks and expectations, she lay down and filled her heart with joy.»
