tion, may well only be a small blip in the history of turtles, in
the endless march of what Steinbeck called their "hard legs
and yellow-nailed feet" across the eons.
A small number of turtles, in the cosmic scale, were briefly
troubled by a road through a place they had known as theirs
since time began. During that short tribulation, thousands of
them died while crossing a relatively narrow band of asphalt
and then, one day, no more cars came. Then they had the road
to themselves until, before they knew it, the road crumbled to
gravel and the turtles, without even having noticed it chang-
ing, found that it was all ponds and wetlands once more.
Should those turtles ever develop the ability to think, or even
to try to develop their own sense of metaphysics and ask them-
selves the really difficult questions, they, or whatever succeeds
us, will have to reckon with what our value was, how much our
very souls were worth, individually and in bulk.
