Healing isn’t linear. Some days feel heavier than others, and that’s okay.
You’re doing the best you can — give yourself grace. 💛

Your nervous system may whisper “there’s no way forward.”

The Turtle Who Remembered the Sky

Long ago, before the moon learned her name,
the sea had no color.
It was made of forgetting
a vast silence swallowing everything that dared to dream.

In those waters lived a turtle
whose shell shimmered like obsidian,
etched with spirals no eye could read.

Each spiral was a memory
of something that once lived
a bird’s cry, a mountain’s shadow,
a mother’s song lost to the tide.

The Turtle carried them all,
for she was the Keeper of What Was.

When the spirits of the sky looked down
and saw how heavy her back had become,
they sent a single feather of light
a falling star
to rest upon her.

The Turtle looked up for the first time.
In her reflection, she saw the heavens
not as above,
but within.

She began to rise.
The waters parted around her.
Waves turned to glass,
revealing the bones of forgotten things.

When she reached the surface,
the star cracked open
and from it, the first dawn spilled.

It kissed her shell,
and the spirals began to glow,
each one awakening a memory of the world:
trees unfurling from silence,
fish learning the rhythm of motion,
winds remembering how to sing.

The Turtle whispered to the newborn light:

“Never let them forget again.”

From that day,
her shell became the map of the earth,
and her eyes the mirrors of the sky.

And when the people of the coast
look to the sea at sunrise,
they say the shimmer on the water
is her breathing
the memory of creation
still rising,
still alive.

Skateboarding offers a wide range of benefits that go beyond just physical activity. It helps improve balance, coordination, and core strength while also promoting cardiovascular health and burning calories.

Mentally, it provides stress relief, encourages mindfulness, and builds confidence through persistence and overcoming challenges.

Skateboarding also fosters creativity and a strong sense of individuality, as there’s no single “right” way to skate.

Socially, it connects people through inclusive and supportive communities, often forming bonds at parks and in shared public spaces.

Accessible and low-cost, skateboarding empowers individuals to engage with their environment in unique ways, making it not just a sport, but a lifestyle and form of self-expression.

Join Mason every Wednesday for an indoor skate session from 6:00pm-7:00pm.

Membership required.
Must have own gear
( board, helmet, pads )
Must have signed waiver.
