For those of you how don't read
attack_laurel 's journal, and may be flailing for the "Reason for the Season" in the midst of a mall-battered, ninth inning Christmas rush...take some time and read about the
turtle...
I'm not a Christian, so trust me when I say I'm not selling any holy snake oil here. If I am anything, I am a follower of the 'sane' and the 'true' that sometimes gets told as a part of religious myths and legends. Laurel's stories are a new favorite of mine and recall many of the best lessons from all of the many great teachers out there (including Jesus, Buddah, Mohammad, Locke, Adams, Jefferson, Aristotle... and my mom who taught me how to share).
I hope you enjoy them too!
