If the world around you
gets so busy
that you fear to drown in the noise
retreat to the little things
which your heart can capture
and hold in real time.
Don’t ignore the big things
but find your home in the small ones
like the taste of water
in your mouth
refreshing your senses
and giving life to everything.
In doing so you might notice
that the little things also move the big things
and that hope
builds its beginning
in your little heart.
