When all of creation–trees, stones, ants, the sky, fish—-begins arguing over who or what God is, quiet Old Turtle is the only one who has the wisdom and ability to see beyond herself to capture the essence. The debate escalates until Old Turtle finally “STOP!” She accepts and incorporates the beliefs of all the “God is indeed deep,” she says to the fish in the sea, “and much higher than high,” she tells the mountains. “God is gentle and powerful. Above all things and within all things… God IS.” Old Turtle, after silencing the crowds with her understanding, makes a prediction about the appearance of a new “family of beings” in the world.
