The littlest we do
A morning smile
Reassuring hand on the shoulder
Resisting the urge to roll your eyes
Multiply.
It is difficult to generate good will in the middle of entropy. Everyone flying in their own elliptical alignments. It’s funny the way people talk sometimes. Like words don’t have energy. Don’t deliver flames. Simply misplacing the comma can level a town.
The littlest things we do:
Thoughts
Motions
Sounds
Sometimes lever the world.
