sky, turtle

[Jess Tauber]

And oh, I forgot to include the dynamic part- the frog's tongue zaps out to
capture prey, just as the turtle's head can come out of its shell and
retract. In similar vein it seems the sun is the major trajector with respect
to the sky, and the day/night cycle may relate as regards the ideas of
openness/closure and lit/dark, clarity/dullness. Note finally that people in
aboriginal times also went out from/back into their own "shells" diurnally.
