So beautiful, Gwyneth. Thank you for giving words to how I feel. And legitimizing it. Peace to us all.

Thank you for this perfect metaphor. I've always felt good about the night coming earlier in winter, I suppose because I needed its shell around me. I love how imagining things this way, like a snail, gives us permission to rest; always knowing that the spring comes.

Thank you. I think metaphors make lovely gifts. Here’s to spring and all the metaphors waiting for us.

¡Viva snail mode! What a beautiful way to describe an important season of hibernation and inner sanctuary. Perfectly expressed. Thank you for writing this and embracing vulnerability. 🐌
