...Turtle Mother

This mural is on Euclid in the Berkeley hills, where my daughter lives...
I've driven past it many times while visiting the area.

Whizzing by in a car isn't the best way to see it...
But the other day I walked past it ...
close up and taking time is the way to view it..


So today I grabbed my little Berkeley companion Gus
and we walked back down the hill to take a few photos..and so I could see it again.




Not the perfect photos...
Gus did a little pulling on me, and there was foot traffic and car traffic..
but I believe you will be able to feel it.
.
Here is the story...

It's wonderful...
the care and the color..

I hadn't seen the Turtle any of the times flying by in a car.
Since the Turtle is my totem you can imagine my delight...
actually it stopped me in my tracks....
the face of the Turtle.
Her eyes.

The Turtle, 
Mother Earth, 
birthing divine feminine energy into the world.

How beautiful is this?
