The impact we have in this life is measured,
not so much in grandiose gestures,
but in miniscule moments
not primarily by our moving the masses
but by our touching individual lives
It's in the micro more than the macro,
the Minutiae...
Jesus healed with a Word
Humanized "the least of these" with a loving look
Turned entire trajectories in a moment of Grace
Trumped tyrannical tradition with a touch
There's magic in the merest kindness
Seeing one accustomed to being unseen
(--and there's a reason a tiny straw can break a camel's back,
so careful how you dole out your straws--)
Our lives are made up of jots and tittles
more than broad strokes
The legacy we leave
built brick by brick
our journey taken step by step...
Let us tread intentionally
laying lovely ground
leaving in our wake
a Life well Lived
meticulously,
meaningfully,
moment by moment....

Thank you for the beautiful reminder...
This is so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes....Your way with words has touched my heart and makes me want to focus more on the moments instead of on the hours....
You are beautiful friend...
so beautifully said.
tears here too.....one to hold
close to my heart
and nibble on
over and over.
Oh beautiful you...what fruit
blossoming on your vine!

Coming by to see how your micro movements
are settling
in your days and in your heart
and sending love.....loads and mounds
of love
