Small

Stop acting so small, you are the universe in ecstatic motion - Rumi

I've always loved that quote. There's something magical about it. Magical especially when you consider that all of creation is nothing more than a smushing together of atoms. If you know much about atoms feel free to correct me, but from what I know atoms are mostly empty. They have their electrons and protons but for the most part they're made up of nothing at all... And then all matter is made up of atoms... Isn't it amazing to imagine then... All we are is nothing at all. Just empty spaces with a set of smushed up atoms, cramped into a small space. We're so obsessed with the size of our bodies with the number on the scale we so often forget we are but nothing at all, just empty spaces. There's something magical about that now isnt there?

The little things

It's always the little things. The little secrets we keep, the little lies we tell. 

Perfect or supposedly perfect relationships ruined by the little oversight, the slight omission. A glossing over of the truth. Maybe if we could all just find ways to talk to each other the world would be a bit simpler. But it's not is it. It's just that sometimes the little things hurt more than the big ones. When your husband denies your identity, denies who you are, denies everything that made you the person he fell in love with, it would seem like a big thing to the casual observer. But to you perhaps it seems like a little thing,maybe  because it comes in a flippant remark not a grandiose statement. Maybe it's in a casual mention to a stranger, or just in a passing conversation. The little worms that gnaw at your heart slowly but surely. It's always in the little things.
