In the presence of the grand, such as the cherry trees in full bloom, it is easy to overlook the small things.
I am entranced by the small garden offerings, the loving care and desire for beauty manifested by the plantings of perhaps even a flower or two when all someone has is a couple of square feet of sidewalk space to plant.
So too with our human gifts. How essential to happiness and connection it is to recognize the gifts and contributions to love and community by those who are not extraordinary, not the powerful or the famous.
