Have You Ever Heard Of A Snail Having A Heart Attack?

I've had just enough time to...   have a slow conversation with a snail

Early morning shooting of a snail in action in Ampang, Malaysia

To understand a snail, go slow

Speed is not the way to do it

You may use it on the rabbit

Or the road runner

But it did the fox no good

So slow may be the answer

For speed too.

If you do not have the patience

Don’t count the stars

Just try to follow the comet

And see where that gets you

Einstein may have ridden its tail

But he did it slowly, slowing down

Time to travel the speed of light

 The virtue of a snail is its lack of speed

The only reason to do it fast

Is to get out of danger

But we have already  

Been wired for that

And the white coats tells you

Slowing down your heart

Lengthens your life

And the swami tells you

Slowing down your pace

Preserve your balance

And your mum tells you

Eating slowly

Improves your digestion

And mums are never wrong

We won’t argue with that.

And have you ever heard

Of a snail having a heart attack?
