Snails

Shh. Sense the subtle silence of slow, slimy snails. Snails move quietly.

Slow and steady, they find their meal and their mate, though for breeding they don’t need mates.

Little by little, they leave transitory traces.

Snails carry their home on their backs.

They hide when threats approach.

Soft inside, their exoskeleton protect them.

Snails’ shells hold the fractal spiral, from the outside towards the inside, all the way to their center.
