Weird analogy, I know, but follow me here.
The obvious use of a turtle shell is to
protect the little guy inside.
It
provides shelter and safeguards the animal against the harsh elements of the
world.
It is inconceivably hard for predators
and enemies to break through that shell.
The shell is also there for the turtle to hide behind.
It can retract into its shell when it feels
threatened or panicked.
A feeling we
know all too well in the world we live in today.
The shell of a turtle is also known as their
spine.
It is the backbone that holds the
animal together and keeps it strong.
The
shell is a turtle’s home, it’s safe place, it’s sanctuary.
A turtle’s shell is fascinating, the uses for it and how
it grows with the turtle instead of the turtle outgrowing it and having to find
a new one. It is beautiful and
unique. Parts of a turtle’s shell are
also still undiscovered and not understood.
It is truly an amazing, yet complicated shield for the little being that
lives inside.
