tiny spaces in big places.

on a visit to the university of michigan’s law library

walking through the arch to the quad

inside waits

the reading room

silent and beautiful 

downstairs

in the underground library

among all the many, many books

near the rare book room

happened upon

something i had never seen there 

tiny little rooms, each one unique, tucked away in the great big books

 a welcome quote and greeting

when taking a picture

  one of the librarians

came over

she had created

this delightful space

  took a very long time

to make each one

to bring a bit of joy

to all who found them

this tiny jewel

was such a treasure 

to discover

in these hallowed halls .

I love this gift

of my very own mini bar

from my very-long-time-big-hearted friends

it fits perfectly into la casita

and so do they.

the older I get, the more i’m conscious of ways

very small things can make a change in the world.

tiny little things,

but the world is made up of tiny matters, isn’t it?
