I am a Refugee From the end of Creation
I am a Sojourner Learning the Truth Of what I Am not
I am all of the letters in the alphabet spoken at once
I am climbing up from a fallen friend
I am mourning that friend as I climb on alone
I am not aware of myself anymore
I am yet still one more thing
I am what I will become

The second page of the book has a much clearer print version of the Second Turtle from the previous page.
This Turtle shows another way of conceptualizing how the Dharma Compass ( these goofy turtle diagrams I use are always Dharma Compasses ) can be used in song writing.
There is a turtle inside of a heart. The Heart is made up of a < shape that folds in on itself, kind of like the lips on a mouth.
One of the turtle's rear legs is sticking out of the mouth like a little tongue.
Inside the heart, with the turtle, Is the MELODY - which - if the turtle would just move out the way a little, would flow out of the mouth and interact with the HARMONY.
The Turtle shell and the rigid shape of the < heart mouth are pointed out as being made by the CADENCE.
