FLATBACK TURTLE JIGSAW PUZZLE
(PEACE)
ABOUT THIS JIGSAW PUZZLE
A green sea turtle is returning to the beach where she was born. Full of eggs herself it is the first of many journeys she will take to birth her young. Much in life is impossible to explain and this journey is one of those miracles. How does she navigate her way back to the very beach where her mother laid her eggs and all the mothers before her.
What inspires the journey. Is it spontaneity finding its own order?
We can only guess. Watching her journey through a hole in the reef kissed by the sun. We see tomato clown anemone fish, a parrot fish and a school of yellow fish as they swerve to navigate a brain coral.
PEACE – A SHORT POEM
A memory so long is held in my Soul
As I swim where my ancestors did
I smell my mother in this salty water
And shed tears for the ones to be bred
They can drink my tears as they swim
And recall me, their mother, too
They can glide with me along my trail
To a place where my father shed spawn
And swim to the beach where their mothers laboured
To reef islands where, like me, they were born
