This comic, recently sent my way by a good friend and former Tricycle intern, seemed worth sharing. I appreciate the message and the turtle instantly reminded me of a passage from David Loy’s The World is Made of Stories, recently reviewed by Alan Senuake for Tricycle.

From The World is Made of Stories:

According to a Hindu myth, the world is upheld by the great elephant Maha Pudma, who is in turn supported by the great tortoise Chukwa.

An Englishman asked a Hindu sage what the great tortoise rests upon.

“Another turtle,” was the reply.

And what supports that turtle?

“Ah, Sahib, after that it’s turtles all the way down.”

To turtles!
