Back Trails is for the Big and the Small

* the mighty snail!

Besides delving mostly into old houses, historical tidbits, book commentaries, and lives while in transit, Back Trails takes pride in including on its pages accounts about the small. Small does not necessarily mean not pretty or insignificant. Small, more often than not, brings you to more intimate pleasures, such as the delight I felt as I watched this snail by the road make its way to who-knows-where.

You don't have to be on the outskirts of the earth's atmosphere to feel enjoyment. One just have to look around. Never mind the brawling politicians for a while. Ignore the capitalist companies making justifications on why they are increasing the prices of their products. As much as we want to solve life's problems, it won't hurt to take a break and enjoy nature. It's free so no excuses there.
