Mr. Turtle’s Reading of ‘Little Wing,’ et. al.

Green Sea Turtle on Punaluu Black Sand Beach, Hawaii

This is a guest post by Mr. Turtle. He loves music, and he does that thing people do where they’ll quote song lyrics. Some other people find this annoying, I realize. For myself, I may or may not enjoy seeing this kind of “thing,” depending on quality and quantity considerations.

Mr. Turtle has impeccable good taste and a keen sense for appropriately shareable snippets. I’ll turn it over now to him…

Kapaho Tide Pools on the Big Island

Kapaho Tide Pools, Hawaii

When the ebbing tide retreats
Along the rocky shoreline,
It leaves a trail of tidal pools
In a short-lived galaxy.
Each microcosmic planet
A complete society.

A simple kind mirror
To reflect upon our own.
All the busy little creatures
Chasing out their destinies.
Living in their pools,
They soon forget about the sea…

– Neil Peart, “Tide Pools”
