Its amazing how one “quick look” at something online gets you easily suckered into a rabbit hole that melts away your time. This happened to me tonight and while I should’ve been actively writing something new, I lost the night.

Even with my stubbornness and full knowledge of what the algorithms are doing (including using extensions that prevent some of the more predatory features), multi-billion dollar companies designed to keep users hooked… will get you hooked.

So, in lieu of my usual, I offer something else instead.

In response to yesterday’s post, Terry Ann Carter (a foremost poet of the world… and I don’t say that lightly) sent me a prayer/mantra she put together in her thoughts about the concept of small.

With her permission, she has allowed me to post it here. Let it be a guide for you as well.

Sometimes the big world is too big. Big noise. Big problems. Big people, as though they are the only ones. For now, I want my world to be small, filled with the loving caring people I know. My beautiful families. My exquisite friends…who, over and over show me the world I want to live in. Oh yes. And one small act of kindness each day.
