Tortoise Adventures Part II
<center>

Greetings, Fellow Chelonian Observers And Other Admirers Of The Slow And Steady Natural Rhythm!

Somebody once said something like...

> It's not important if you move slowly, it's important that you do not stop.

All right, that was what I remember of a phrase by _Andy Warhole_, and I've cited it before, and it refers to artistic progress in general. But also about Life. Specifically ;) Or vice versa, depending on where you stand.

<br>

A couple of months ago, I shared a small series of this particular tortoise's run for the unknown.

You can find it [Here](https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@manoldonchev/old-slow-and-steady-moving-on-in-a-mad-world). 

Since then, though, we have moved a little bit further. In our photographer-model relationship. I've processed a few more images.

A.K.A. The Tortoise Effect. Oh, there isn't one defined? Now there is. It's what a tortoise, or a turtle, or a very persistent human or other being would do to you if you were a river that only ever flowed in one direction in a predictable river bed and you thought your surface was smooth and all. But there's nothing specifically wrong with it.

<br>

It's just...you'd better respect the tortoise. Not for your own sake. But because it's there.

It's hard to explain. Perhaps next time.

Slow and steady...

Peace!
