"The Woman Who Became the Tree"
— A Story of How the World Began to Grow —
In the beginning, there was a woman
who chose to root herself.
She had walked enough lifetimes to know
that the deepest journeys happen standing still.
So she climbed onto
the back of the old Turtle,
spread her arms until
they remembered they were branches,
and let her feet sink
down through his painted shell
into the slow, ancient blood of the sea.
The Turtle did not mind.
e had been waiting for her.
Grow, he whispered without speaking.
Grow so the children of
the children of my children
will have somewhere
to rest their tired heads.
And she grew. She grew
through every season at once —
summer in her right hand,
winter in her left,
the sun rising in her belly,
the moon setting in her hair.
She is still growing.
That is why the world has not yet ended.
