A group of birds who are\nwatching are open-mouthed \u2013 or rather open-beaked \u2013 at the length of time taken\nby these moist creatures to make progress, and how slowly they expel slime as\nthey moisten the ground over which they glide. They make steady progress, but\nit takes them a very long time to reach their goal. Yet a snail race is enormous\nfun for those who know how to take their time. There\u2019s a lot to see; how the\nsnails strain forward to make progress! How they straighten their smooth, solid\nfeelers, and stretch them out towards their goal! How the sides of their body move\nwith a wave-like motion in order to push them onwards! Someone once said that\nif only we could learn to experience slowness, we would see how snails really\nlean into the corners. And it\u2019s true; anyone who wants the snails to go faster\ncan simply experience everything more slowly. Then a snail race will be just\nthe right place for him, and he will see how fast they are. When the snails race\neach other, they are full of movement. From their feelers to their slime glands\nand from their mouth to their tail, everything moves forward. They are experts\nat rationing their strength. And when the time comes, they accelerate for one\nfinal spurt on the home stretch until they finally cross the finishing line,\npanting with exertion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story \u201cSnail Race\u201d can be used with patients suffering from various sexual dysfunctions, although it is recommended that the text be adapted to the relevant situation.
