Far, far out on the open sea a platform of stone held firm against the tossing waves. At first sight, it appeared as nothing out of the ordinary, other than that it lay in the middle of nowhere. That was the view on the surface. Beneath the water existed an entirely alien world. Jennifer McKeithen
About This Quote

The platform of stone was the giant turtle, turtle Island. The island itself was said to be so large that it was invisible to the naked eye. It might be the largest turtle in the world, or it might be several small turtles joined together, who knows? From what I can tell, it is impossible to say for sure. What I do know is that the platform of stone that it rests on is called Turtle Rock. Turtle Rock was said to be an ancient device for moving the world.

It was used to transport objects from one place to another. The platform of stone became trapped in time and space after being activated by an unknown force. The power of persistence can move our hearts and minds through any obstacle. Through every defeat, we must learn how not to give up on ourselves because if we don’t, we won’t ever achieve what we are hoping for.
