The World in a Single Breath

Consider what is happening right now, outside your window. A bee is dusted with pollen on a freshly opened flower. In a park across the city, a child is laughing with pure, uncomplicated joy for the very first time on a swing. An old couple’s hands find each other’s, their intertwined fingers telling a story of sixty years without a single angry word. These are not grand events, but they are the very fabric of our existence – the tiny stitches that hold the world together. We miss them because we are looking for a spotlight when the real magic is in the twinkling of a thousand distant stars.
