Wisdom of the Snail

Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - "Why Worry"

Like an artist,

you carry the tools of your trade,

a slow observer

of nature both savage and wild.

Like a sage,

you understand subtle ravages of time,

knowing you are a temporary resident of this shell,

so why worry?

Just breathe.
