How does the turtle make progress

Just come across this great little story from one of the Indigenous Grandmothers,  Grandmother Mona Polacca, Hopi/Havasupai.

She talks about the turtle having to stick it's neck out when it wants to move ahead and points out that's what we need to do, rather than staying in our shell.

If you haven't come across the work of the Grandmothers, here's a link
