Contraction

Solicitous snail
finds fondness for brevity
requires contraction

there have been days when I want that solicitousness that longs for brevity, that willingness and ease of backing off. I wonder if it is linked to the ability to let go of stuff that is not, nor has ever been, one's responsibility?
the snail is wise.

Hi Harlequin, I think letting go is probably one of the most important lessons we can learn. I've always found snails to be intriguing little creatures.

wish I were a snail to come & go as it wishes!
I like the subtlety of the metaphor!
