Take Notice of the Small Things

When the world feels big and full and the opposite of peaceful, I like to take notice of the small things. I tell myself the small things are the big things, and I mostly believe that. Sometimes it’s hard to remember when everything else is pulling for your attention. As a forever realist, my view of world and of life can be bleak. I have to pull myself out of that hole on a daily basis. Sometimes it would be easier to just stay in it. Let the world pass by for a while. But the rains come and pay us no mind. We bear witness to it all. And somehow the sun shines again. Somehow we take another step. And another. We keep going.
