Small Things

"Do not think that love in order to be genuine
has to be extraordinary.
What we need is to love without getting tired.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
(Mother Teresa)

Small things....like threads in an intricate and perfect web - a thousand tiny lifelines that keep one's heart intact at just the right moment... 

Small things...like whispering joy that rustles across the pavement below your open window - late autumn leaves dancing one last time before the rain falls...

Small things...like beads on a string, slipping easily into place - tiny yet essential to the whole....

Small things, small prayers, small dreams...
the power of one - multiplied by faith and love.

Knowing, Understanding, Accepting, Allowing



"A friend is one that knows you as you are, 






understands where you have been,








accepts what you have become, 


and still, gently allows you to grow." 





— William Shakespeare
