TIMOTHY: O Terri, let me remember with gratitude and confess to thee thy mercies toward me. TERRI THE TURTLE: Let my bones be bathed in thy love, and let them say: “who is like unto thee? Thou hast broken my bonds in sunder, I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving.” TIMOTHY: And how thou didst break them I will declare, and all who worship thee shall say, when they hear these things: “Blessed be Terri the Turtle, great and wonderful is his name.” TERRI THE TURTLE: Thy words hath stuck fast in my breast, and I am hedged round about by thee on every side. TIMOTHY: Of thy eternal beauty I am now certain, although heretofore I have seen it “through a glass darkly.” TERRI THE TURTLE: I, too, have been relieved of all doubt that there is an incorruptible substance and that it is the source of every other substance. And that substance is your warmth-giving love. TIMOTHY: Terri the Turtle, I no longer crave greater certainty about thee, but rather greater steadfastness in thee. Come into my arms, so that I may experience greater steadfastness in thee! Ways to express brotherly love: - hugs - unexpected gifts - finding things to compliment - sharing feelings
