Elisabeth Tova Bailey Quotes
Millions of centuries of voyaging via animals, water, and wind brought my snail's family to colonize the woods near where I was staying. It was by chance that my snail's path had intersected with a human trail, just as a friend - the sort of friend who stopped for a snail - was passing by. The history of gastropod travel now included the unexpected journey of my own snail, which had arrived at my bedside by human transport.
