Snail
Love of waiting
value time and space
Singing his quietness to man, the snail patiently leaves his values of all progress, however small to man.
Paving the way in front of man, the snail leaves a path of self for man to follow.
Showing orderliness and randomness to man as different ways to proceed, the snail reaches his goal with quiet determination.
Strongly closing himself to any distraction from others, the snail becomes that which she wasn't. By introducing equally both aspects of self, the snail strengthens man.
Ranging along man's paths, the snail reminds man of strengths from within and strengths to be carried along.
Leaving a trail to show progress, the snail wishes man also to leave parts of self with others. |
