Amid Small Things, Great Beauty

“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”― Mary Oliver

“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” – Mother Teresa

Astonishment over diminishment.
Wondering and wandering over the beaten path.
Forward not back.
New things into today and forward motion.
Put the heavy baggage of worry, resentment, cynicism, expectations down.
Walk lightly with delight, joy and awe.
Amid small things, ordinary days, beauty abound.
A daily practice to choose where to invest mindshare, heartshare, attention.
Intention followed by action.
Repetition and commitment.
Presence in now, not the road behind or too far ahead.
The call of each day.
Allow, invite, welcome a new story.

“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” – Vincent Van Gogh
