the little things that are so easy to overlook,
yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
to notice and to pay attention.

for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."

my friends in the holiday season is to pause
with a long enough quality to actually SEE them.

this gift of a message, "I see you. I recognize you.

and am contributing right now to another quality memory.
I value you and honor and take the time,
right this moment to pause long enough to truly notice you."

a heightened sense of community.

in the midst of a holiday bustle.

you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.

and nothing about Halloween is NOT outrageous.
