the tiniest pebble |

Yesterday, as I was seeking the grandest, smoothest stones on a near-deserted beach, I knelt upon my tired knees, so close to the edge of my world, thinking the best stones were forever just out of reach, when I suddenly realized with newly opened eyes that I had overlooked the power of the tiniest pebbles, the ones that were always there for my safe passage. I could not help but reflect in honest genuflect, knowing I had too-often tread without thinking, had spent too much time drinking in as many huge gulps of air as I could so I’d possess boundless energy and the power to jump all hurdles and climb any towers, maybe even soar like an eagle. But no matter what I wish for, my existence has always been more like the tiniest pebble. Today, I am happy to be a pebble for you. |

really beautiful, your sense of mindfulness. I very much appreciated the casual feeling of your voice as you described your experience....as you slowed me down into mindfulness of the moment's details...Thank you ~P |
