The Small Stuff

I like the idea of small change as the currency of endurance. It puts wonder within everyone’s reach. Its cost is only to live; the price tag never exceeds what we have to spend.

Wonder is a mindful practice, an acute awareness, an acceptance that the moment is all we ever have, and it is enough.

Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me.

It is a sort of splendid torch

which I have got hold of

for the moment,

and I want to make it burn

as brightly as possible.

George Bernard Shaw

Small wonder, that.
