This series is a guided journey through Elisabeth Tova Bailey’s “The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating”. Together we’ve explored the book in two sections, pausing to reflect on attention, isolation and what the natural world might teach us.

Each post offers a summary of key ideas, reflections in my own words, and questions for you to sit with. This is an invitation to read slowly, to linger, to let the gentle wisdom of this book sink in.

Parts 1-3

Parts 4 - the end

You can read these posts in order, or simply dip into whichever section calls to you. At the end of each reflection you’ll find gentle questions for journaling, discussion, or contemplation. Feel free to share in the comments section at the bottom!
