Children of the Sun (short film)

A gentle blending of narration and song… our connection to the Earth and to each other… turtle is constant and tree is still in his calm center. These two guardians chosen by Great Grandmother Galaxy as the keepers of the Earth are here to show us the way and to lead us back to the natural cycles of time, living in rhythm with the Moon, the Sun and the Stars…

Long ago, our planet was known as Turtle Island by all the children of the Earth for the power of 13 is contained within the matrix on the back of turtle's shell… and as turtle swims upon the seas of creation, Earth navigates her way through the Cosmos, for it takes 13 moons for the Earth to make one complete orbit around the Sun.

Great grandmother galaxy says, "Time and mind you cannot see or taste. Mind is what knows; time is what flows. Without knowing your mind and being in time, your life could be a terrible waste! My grandchild, Earth, knows this much. Her choice of guardians was wise. Who knows better than turtle and tree that only time exists for mind to be."

Turtle and tree are here to teach us the lessons we have forgotten and to remind us that we are all autonomous, sovereign beings… co-evolving with the Earth.

"The Story of Time… The Story of Turtle and Tree" will be produced as a musical animation available on DVD and CD for children of all ages.
