breathing small

…


a wee snail
on a blade of green;
life slowed down
to a pace
I can sync with my heart’s beat.
morning peace: complete.

    Utterly lovely. I felt my own heart slowing as I read.

    I agree with all of the above, and wish I could see snails more often. I think I told you about our experience with snails in my daughter’s aquarium (these were under-water snails). Slow-moving, but lightning-bolt at reproducing!

    My, what a nice slowing down moment. Never have considered a snail in that fashion before, but I will now.
