On a Small Scale

Sometimes you can tell a large story with a tiny subject.
~ Eliot Porter


~ Bright green, wee little inch worms. Six legs in front, six in back, and a U in the middle.

~ Dewdrops, like a string of pearls on a spiderweb at dawn.

~ The final falling glowing embers of a dissolving firework.

~ The soft little creases on the back of a baby's neck.

~ Tiny sugar crystals baked on to the top of a crackled cookie.

~ Tree frog toes and boogely eyes.

~ Glittery dust specks in a ray of morning sunlight.

~ One single solitary snowflake in all its lacy intricacy, just before it melts in the palm of your hand.

~ Tiny champaign bubbles that dance on your tongue.

~ The complicated design of veins on a papery dragonfly wing.

~ Sparkler stars tracing your name in the night sky.


Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
