Inspired by doodles: To live like a snail

When someone’s moving at snail’s pace, we think of it as a bad thing. We urge them to move faster. Either out loud or silently in our minds.

So much to do, so little time.

But maybe the snail is moving at the optimal pace. Maybe it is a good thing to move at a snail’s pace. To take your time. Allow yourself and those around you to fully soak in the life we live. To learn and grow like a snail might be what we should aim for. If only just to slow us down a little in order to pay attention to what truly matters.
