David’s Journal

I just saw the most beautiful thing.

I was out at night, doing a little walk before bed. It was a cool night. Dark and beautiful. Stars. A few clouds. Peaceful.

I’m heading back to my apartment, and lo and behold, I see not one, not two, but four snails all gathered together on the sidewalk. Two were unusually close…

It was beautiful.

One had its neck — I guess you can call it a neck — slowly, gently resting over the other’s. Slowly, gently, they moved. With delicate, gentle, sensual touch. It was strangely erotic.

I realize I’m talking about snails here. But you weren’t there. It was beautiful.

Nature. At its purest form.

New life, beginning and continuing, right before my eyes.

Nature really is an amazing thing. It really was a beautiful experience to be able to witness.
