Myrtle

Three days of the last nine, Myrtle has crawled out of the warm ocean to sunbathe on the beach. It's mating season and she needs to rest!
Sometimes after resting for five hours she creeps towards the sea to catch a wave. This is no easy matter, it takes hours to turn and seemingly water under her leathery appendages.
She is The Talk of the Town! People don't understand; the turtle requires rest, not 20 people crowding around her with 
Flash cameras doing ' on location modeling! Yes, i have heard women make  costume changes to have their photo taken with Myrtle. 
The women next door are outraged and  repeatedly call Animal welfare to come and 'do something'!
As an elder i want to organize a sit in. A peaceful group meditating in a circle, holding space for Myrtle while she dozes
Joyfully undisturbed. 
Alas it's too darn hot to sit for long. . .
