I've never heard of a snail being a spiritual animal, either. But I am convinced now... and why not?! I love this poem. Congrats on POTD. Moon Harp

Missed this one for Rosh Hashana. Can you imagine? lol. ~ Sandy Koufax -- Well, we're both lefties and both Jewish... He's still a better pitcher than I am. lol.

Haha, yep, Sandy was one of my idols as a kid. For about 5 years he was pretty much the best ever.

Hey Dave my friend. I never heard of a snail being a spirit animal - but why not? :)) Congratulations! :)

Hi elle - yep, I think the snail is qualified and up to it. I wish more of them would be spirit animals so that they would get out of my garden - lol!

Hi Daniel, I'm glad to hear that. It seems like we can't always control the timing of things...at least maybe that's what I think the snail is telling me :-))

returning to congratulate you, David, on your POTD designation. A 'guardian snail' is brilliant. Next thing you know someone will use a snail as a 'support animal.' HA

Haha, thanks Sara!
