Wormed His Way Into My Heart

Now my favorite creature – absolutely the earthworm.   He toils the soil.   He endlessly and thanklessly works.  He doesn’t slither.   He doesn’t wiggle.   He doesn’t inch.   Yet he is in motion. And he grovels through the dirt without a loss of dignity.
And he can repair himself.   He can replace himself.   How [...]
