sometimes its easy to feel un-inspired here - until you remember that
the little things count
and it is the little things make up every life-changing moment
every pebble thrown into the ocean
every soft flap of a birdwing
every smile ever smiled
every meal shared
every time you decided to love someone
those things matter
or, like today -
the Community Health Worker that now has 6 people regularly coming to
his house for dressing changes - 2 people's wounds have already
completely healed
or,
the village midwife wearing her new bright pink jacket - bringing a lady
into the hospital
or,
the 4 day old baby of the Chief de Quartier not dying - they had been
giving him only water for 4 days - because they thought the mother had
no milk - now the baby is breastfeeding and her milk production has
increased
or
or
and the thousand other ors we will never know, never hear about, never see
those are the things that matter
the little things
the things that glide vanishing under the surface of the water
changing the shape of the waves
changing the tides
changing the rhythms
the shape of the splash
that one day
will rock the boat
