Today's Tendril...

If not for the minutiae—the atomic parts—then the "big picture" would not exist.

Today's Tendril...

Don't sweat the small stuff, the saying goes.

But what a better world it would be if people actually took a little time out of their busy schedules to do so.

Today's Tendril...

Each breadcrumb,
Each footprint,
And each mind-spark,
Contains a little piece of the milestone ahead —
Even if that piece
Is nothing more
Than the essence
Of the "what is yet to be."

Today's Tendril...

Detail and derail differ by a letter; a seemingly insignificant, little letter.

But it's the little things—the details—that matter.

Beware the details, for they may derail you.

Too Easy

Too easy to rationalize acts of unkindness.
Too easy to bury the wrongs.
Too easy to forget those that are suffering.
Too easy to dismiss out-of-hand,
      without concern or remorse.
Too easy to blame "they" and "them,"
      from beneath the sanctity of a black veil.
All too easy to pretend that the little things don't matter,
      even though life itself is but a collection of little things.

As we flatten the world,
      we mustn't allow our souls to be flattened in the process.

Today's Tendril...

God, guide me in the way of little things, so that I can find the footprints of serenity in the vastness of the day.

Alternate Version
God, guide me in the way of little things, so that I might find a path away from the colossal maw of the ever present now.
