A snail carries a sense of home wherever it crawls. Its shell is its ever-present protector, available at a moment’s notice—and a snail knows when to retreat into it. Be aware of when you need to retreat, and give yourself permission to recharge and protect yourself. Build yourself your own shell: How can you provide a sense of home and comfort, wherever you are? Go inside your body and find yourself. Ask what it needs. Find safety and clarity in it. And then, when you are ready, get back out there into the wild world and resume your journey.
