Deb/we/win- Truth

Truth is represented by the turtle he was here during the creation of Earth and carries the teachings of life on his back. The turtle lives his life at a slow pace because he understands the importance of both the journey and the destination. To live with truth and to walk with truth, is to speak the truth. Be true to yourself and all of creation.
