“Geography is the key, the crucial accident of birth. A piece of protein could be a snail, a sea lion, or a systems analyst, but it had to start somewhere. This is not science; it is merely metaphor. And the landscape in which the protein "starts" shapes its end as surely as bowls shape water.”

“I was demolishing a lettuce leaf, my oval raspy-toothed mouth opening and closing like a flesh valve as I oozed along on my own self-generated glistening slime highway. The lovely green blur all around me, the lacework I was creating, the scent of chlorophyll, the juiciness—it was pure bliss. Live in the moment, humans are often told, but snails don’t need to be told. We’re in the moment all the time, and the moment is in us.”

“The Crowned Snail by Stewart Stafford
The vortex-shelled snail,
Hermit rider of the dome,
Silver trails cross the garden,
This green, perennial home.
Playing Russian Roulette,
With giant feet or wheels,
Survivor of stone attacks,
Battering rams birds wield.
A journey with no beginning,
Nor a destination to travel to,
Snug in his fortress castle,
A crowned king, incognito.
