One of my utmost favorite verses in the poem “Auguries of Innocence” by William Blake is:
“To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour. ”
The poem is quite lengthy, but, this verse encompasses so much. Of course, it is up to everyone’s own interpretation. However, my interpretation is one that is quite simple (though I do have a lengthy one as well), to always see the “little things” that always mean so much.
I am blessed to have the “little things” in my life, but, for also having noticed and appreciated them along the way. Perhaps, for 2008 and beyond, let’s try to remember to appreciate the “little things” in life as well as the larger ones.
