the snail

carrying his yoke

is always at peace

 

otherwise

it would free itself

of the burden

and go to death

 

leaving the shell

a protective home

for some other

naked prey:

 

thus, is redemptive

suffering…

the snail carrying his yoke is always at peace otherwise it would free itself of the burden and go to death leaving the shell a protective home for some other naked prey: thus, is redemptive suffering…
