It’s remarkably easy to feel as if one action has little meaning, but little is relative and has varied definitions and applications. An elephant baby is little, but is not when compared to a puppy. A rain drop is little to me, but not to an ant it might fall on. My son used to be little and is still little to me in my mind, but doesn’t feel little when he accidentally bumps into me in the house. 3 bucks and some change might feel worthless to one person and be a sausage biscuit and hot coffee to another. Driving 15 minutes to work is a quick errand if your usual commute is an hour or two, depending on traffic. The photo above is another random one I found while trying to make more space, deleting blurry photos, duplicates, etc., though it doesn’t really feel random. I think I found it today as a reminder that a snapshot is just that- one shot- and not a true reflection of an entire experience. Little is big and big is little because perception changes how we remember experiences. Today might feel not so great. Tomorrow may bring more of the same. I’ll keep taking snapshots and I’ll keep finding big and little and little and big in all sorts of things. Though these photos don’t show me the whole truth, they do show me some truth and definitely one truth with great value. They show that I’m living, looking, loving, trying to see my world, to bond with it, hold it, value it, to try not to be uprooted daily by things I don’t understand.
