Let's Talk About Small Things

Let's talk about the incredible aspects of small things, the things that people find strange, may be low in status or less in power.

The problem with big things is ; everybody talks about them and everybody wants them. Like how they want to establish some fancy modern universities or schools as a mean to serve humanity or how they want to change everything with power in their hands and they study hard very hard for it.

Big talks are about bringing a balanced justice system, putting criminals behind the bars, ending poverty, bringing about revolutions or run for elections and grab some seat to change laws for the better good of the mass. It's no wrong thinking so, but I like small talks like coping up failures, mending broken hearts, healing childhood traumas and fighting depression to name a few because little talks are easily doable, they are necessary and are fundamentally vital for big talks to come to exit.

Let's talk about titles with limited powers that they say everyone can become. For example the notion in my part of the world that if you can't  be something else, you can definately be a teacher. You see that is the problem there, the problem to being blind to the invisible small role that generates the the wholesome transformation in a society. 

For example, everyone being teacher means missing the invisible. The invisible power of small title which is  so diverse and unique that make extraordinary impact. Why do we wintness only rare people work with such dedication and energies and many of them with gloom and dust because re run after the bigger things ignoring what is needed ; mending the small invisible tasks that life throws at us. 

Think about it! I mean the power to make yourself visible to certain way of incredible living doesn't rest in wanting to always take take and take. It is in the nature of giving, abundance flows to us. 

The mystery of unfolding the universe lie in talking and feeling the small little details like the far flung stars conversing, or the moon playing hide and seek with the clouds or why a child runs to you for a hug or when at the corner of your street the corn selling man smiles at you everytime you pass by him for work and it breathes a fresh life in you.

The beauty of listening without responding, saying thank you and sorry or asking permissions regardless of power, titles, position, age " may I also join" aaah ! Such incredible ways of telling people that they matter.

Let's talk about small things, for big ones are boring, time consuming, arrogant, energy draining, egoistic, burdensome!

Free yourself and inter-be!
