The little, the ordinary, the seemingly insignificant...
A girl falls in love with a boy because he listens to her when she speaks and remembers what she said a month ago. Love is sparked by the little things – the quiet word, the gesture of compassion, the look.- Father James B. Reuter, SJ
Loving is best done in the milieu of everyday life. When there is love, everything you do with, for and apart from your beloved is always infused with the love held precious in the heart. Only then will these little chores, the compulsory routines, essentially become more than what they are.
- Father Thomas Keating

what the eyes cannot see, the heart can feel and what the mind forgets, the heart remembers. the ordinary things are the highlights of our life...the very things that nourish and sustain the big blessings we already have and hold. *sigh*
