In case you and this poem don't know each other, this by adrienne maree brown on holding boundaries for our true work and letting the little things count changed my life significantly, and bolsters me often.

She's mentored by a tortoise rather than relating to snail gods, but you know.. :)

...a kind of generative and life sustaining magic that I've known since I was a kid.

I've been considering quiet quitting my art and writing because it is exactly THIS kind of magic I've lost touch with. Whether the quit is temporary or permanent I feel I'd rather have that magic than have a career. This post came to me just when I needed it. Go raibh maith agat x

Oh and I got a slug tattooed on my arm when I turned 30 last year. I love the slimy underbelly creatures that guide us through the grass

This essay fills me with love and joy! I want you to know, I frequently print your work to hold it in my hands and return to it in different moments to read it with different voices. You inspire me to steal space! Thank you, once again, for your writing magic

I look forward to reading some French Clementine too!
