Idea

Now i'm interesting in snail, especially movement of snail. I think the snail means literally to SLOW DOWN. In receiving this card, the snail could be saying whatever you have to do, do it more slowly. If you accept your past and live in the present, and do not stress or struggle with the slowness of it all, the insight you gain will carry you into the future of your choice. handwritten words or sentance what you write carry by snails. and it will change the meaning.

Whan a plant, animal, or insect dies, that plant, animal, or insect is broken into tiny pieces and those pieces become part of the soil. This is called decomposition.

Bacteria, fungi, and some worms are what break down dead plants, animals, and insects. The bacteria, fungi, and worms are called decomposers. Decomposers need to eat some of the dead things so they can live and grow.

The tiny pieces left over after decomposers eat become part of the soil. Living plants take what they need from these pieces so they can grow. The parts of these pieces that living plants take to grow are called nutrients. So, living plants make their own food, but they also need to get nutrients from the soil. Decomposers help provide these nutrients.

It is not just on a forest floor that decomposition is important. Death and decomposition are an essential part of all life cycles on earth. To enable successful birth and growth of young plants and animals, older specimens must die and decompose. This limits the competition for resources and provides a fresh source of essential nutrients for new generations of life.
