You know, snails are to be admired.

Every inch goes so slowly, to travel around the world would take eternity, and yet, it perseveres, unrelentingly, never losing sight of its destination. No matter how rough the road, no matter how many thorns to manoeuvre through, it never gets frustrated, it never gives up. It just keeps going, going, going, ever so slowly, always with a goal, travelling further and further each time.

Patience, perseverance, courage, the acceptance of almost-certainty that someone will come along and step on you. Ugly, but able to see beauty in the darkest, murkiest corners of the Earth.

Could I be a snail?
