On the Turtle Shell

Little Turtle popped out his head, looked into the water, and to his reflection once said:

"If you feel trapped, there is yet another to free.
If you feel alone, there is yet another to see.

If you feel lost, there is another to bring to a path.
If you feel sad, there is another to donate a laugh.

If, in living, you feel you are poor, there is yet another to cherish the more.
If, in living, you feel you are forgotten, there is yet another memory to blossom.

If you feel there is no hope, there is another deserving of hope.
If you feel there is no love, there is yet another deserving of love.

To feel is not to be.
To feel is not to do.
To feel is to perceive.
And perception is change."

"Who are you? Who are me?" Turtle said with some glee.

"I am but one who carries a shell."
