A Million Little Things
A Million Little Things
...and you among them.
Every second
of each and every minute
is building those hours and days
allowing you to become
the woman or man
you are meant to be.
From the moment the thick air
first filled your tiny lungs,
the cascading dominoes
began to fall forward
creating the unmistakable pattern
of your precious life.
Just beyond that rude awakening
comes the gaze of your mother,
a prelude to the million little things
which will kindle love and longing
and therefore your heart's desire
to be one with everything.
When you arise in the morning,
think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive -
to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
~ Marcus Aurelius
