Catty1's guess was incorrect, so the puzzle is still awaiting a correct guess or another letter.

I have edited my last post, there were a couple extra hyphens that are now gone.

And wombat wins this one!

The correct quote is
"Old Turtle spoke. "God is indeed deep," she said to the fish in the sea;
"and much higher than high," she told the mountains.
"He is swift and free as the wind, and still solid as a great rock,"
she said to the breezes and stones.
"She is the life of the world," turtle said to the willow.
"Always close by, yet beyond the farthest twinkling light,"
she told the ant and the star.
"God is gentle and powerful. Above all things and within all things."
"God is all that we dream of, and all that we seek," said Old Turtle,
"All that we come from and all that we can find."
"God IS."
