Thank you sidewalk snail races.
For reminding me to sloooooooow down; life’s not a race to a far away imaginary finish line.
For showing me the beauty in looking down — there’s some awesome shit happening below my feet.
For nature and all the wonderful things it can teach us IF we pay attention.
For demonstrating once again that it’s the journey that counts and in the case of snails and destinations — Determination…slow and steady. Slow and steady. Don’t show off.
For also reminding me not to worry — about anything — after all, you have all you need traveling right along with you inside that shell. (at least you do in MY imagination)
And thank you so much my slithery friends for taking your fearless Saturday stroll, amid the pedestrians and dogs and rascally kids, in MY neighborhood.
And remember: keep walking and stay out of my garden.
Have a wonderful Sunday you guys; filled with long walk, friends and gratitude.
Carry on,
xox
