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?
