Small matters
He talks largely about small matters and smally about great affairs.James Thurber::My Life and Hard Times, 1933
I've not much to say here, on a grand scale. You...ahem...may have noticed this already. Our life is very small. We travel a pretty small radius, with a small group of friends, small(ish) children. Small moments, small mercies, small victories. A small house with a small yard, and (luckily) a small park, out front.
But, I think, it is in all of these tiny ways, these not-large gains, these un-grand gestures, that we can begin to make a difference. We in our children's lives, you in yours, all of us in each other's. Our schools, our town, our world.
One.small.step. at a time.
Small matters. I'm putting all my chips on small.
More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

exactly.
We're spending lots of time in the small park on our block, too. It's a little piece of heaven, with plenty of dandelions to pick, wood chips to pile, and grass to sprawl in. Turns out we don't need much for an afternoon adventure.
tho' you might not know it to look at me, i do love the small as well. :-)
yay small! small will be big in the long haul...
I miss living in a small world really - where I live now is so spread out and difficult. I liked shopping by the apartment and driving three miles to and from work.
these are gorgeous photographs - so precious.
i'm jumping on the small bandwagon!
You're a great photographer! Love the tiny feet on the blanket. And the horizon project! Hail to the Mr.
small is the be-all and the end-all. thanks again Tara, love your blog :)
