tiny oak leaf
two inches tall
celebrated autumn
twirling flying
in the wind
just like the mighty oaks.

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 .

mini.
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.

tiny matters.
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?
