“So the small things came into their own: small acts of
helping others, if one could; small ways of making one's own life better: acts
of love, acts of tea, acts of laughter. Clever people might laugh at such
simplicity, but, she asked herself, what was their own solution?”
Alexander McCall Smith, The Good Husband of
Zebra Drive

Let the small things come into their own
The gentle words
The smiles
The hugs of acceptance and compassion
The silence of presence
Let the small things come into their own
The wood cut and stacked
The casserole offered on the altar of empathy
Let the small things come into their own
As we transform our anger and our hatred
into
ordinary acts of love
