A snail’s pace

macro snail on rainy leaf

To complete one rotation in 24 hours, the earth must spin at an average of 1,000 mph. When you consider that, it doesn’t matter whether I’m power-walking at 3 miles per hour down an asphalt sidewalk, or this snail is moving at a leisurely 3 inches an hour along the edge of a rain-drenched leaf, we are both on a moving surface, hurtling through space at a mind-boggling speed.
