To build airy castles in the soil of imagination is to have the courage to embrace the power of small and allow it room to enumerate its power.
If we cannot come into a time that seeks the power of small, we will then need large. Large always takes up more room than we have, more time than we know, and more space than what is granted by life.
Large has no patience for small but can only push life out of balance When we become a world that can once again believe in the power of the smallest of moments, things, and life, we can then have a grace of space, time, and power.
I have worked in small for many years, and have granted power to the smallest of gestures, colors, lines, numbers, and moments, and space. and have found I can move the whole world, galaxy, and universe within a moment of time’s imprintation.
This is an airy concept that has rooted deeply into the soil of my physical existence, and I know that this small is the only thing that is holding back the destruction of the large that so many look for, wait for, embrace, and pay tribute to in their lives.
In truth, the smaller the concept, the quicker the time, the more complex the intricacy, the freer the code, the more generous the exchange, the greater the distance, the less taught, the more intuitive, the greater the power to balance.
This last paragraph needs to be posted as a quote of significance everywhere!! I will copy at CPL and make it visible to everyone who comes near my desk....it is awesome. This concept will make its way into the personal universes of the many. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteBreathing in the small and letting the large be is a process I am moving through. I am trying not to consume my mind with the large. The small seems to get pushed aside and the large takes over. Like Sandra has said that last paragraph is incredible. The small allows more room and time.I love this!!!
ReplyDeleteSandra, thank you, sometimes our life gets too small I can't hardly see it myself, and then words like these come to me, and I am engaged again in a life that sees small.

Susanna, thank you, I love your integration of this and being a mom of small children often gets shuffled into fatigue and being rushed.
ReplyDeleteNot much recognition is given to all the small that is needed to balance, calm, and nurture.

Once again you have given perfect voice to the most profound & powerful of concepts -- a concept that has & continues to become REAL in this dimension. Thank you for this beautiful reminder of how imperative it is to keep to small to do the work that really will ensure the future that we envision & believe in -- a future WITHOUT cataclysm & destruction & despair needed to create change. In keeping to small it is so easy to feel lost & insignificant, unrecognized & disconnected from the BIG PICTURE of things. I'm so glad we have each other to witness to each other our value & significance in this small work that is "making immense differences" -- we give each other the courage & the reminders needed to find the solace & the power in the small when we get overwhelmed & pressed by the large -- what a gift!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne,
ReplyDeletethat's lovely, your thoughts are such a perfect accompaniment to this piece. Thank you for writing, dialogueing, and being in conversation with all the small in your life.
love, Su.Sane
