The rotating arrangement suggests the flow of water, time, and energy\u2014an ongoing system of renewal and interdependence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"727\">At the center, the turtle represents stability and longevity, while the bird introduces awareness and connection to the spiritual realm.
