Significance of the Small

Bonjour! It's been many days since I've mused on everyday things, but here comes another day filled with another one of my amusing musings.

Everyday things. Those really, really small, supposedly insignificant things fascinate you sometimes. The odd position of the things on your study table, the equal shapes of flower petals, the tiny ray of sunlight reflected from the tears of your eyes... small, but fascinating.

Sometimes, it's these small things which bring about life-changing revelations. A stream flowing in the bright sun may motivate you to follow your dreams. A shattering glass may inspire you to forgive. These things, hidden in the superficial, are of immense value and churn wisdom.

That's the reason small things of each day of our life must be contemplated, and never underestimated. 

These minuscule fragments of matter may create stunning realizations, but have you ever noticed that these fragments can bring about destruction? That an almost invisible microbe can bring about suffering? That some tiny nuclei fusing with each other can destroy an entire city?

This world has often been thought of as a place where we earn, eat and sleep. There's so much more than that. Luck, hope, emotion and the small, everyday things of life, those which are infinitely stronger than you, and constantly crave your attention.

Try giving it to them, and life will turn into a dream-like reality.
