Small details

The student, said he had finished the painting. He called his teacher to evaluate him. She approached the teacher and noted the work in depth and concentration for a while. So she asked the student to the palette and brushes. Deftly took a few strokes here and there. When the teacher returned to the student paints the picture had changed dramatically.

The student was amazed, in his own eyes the work had gone from mediocre to sublime. Almost reverently told the teacher:

How is it possible that with a few strokes, simple details, the picture has changed so much?

Is that in small details is art. Replied the teacher.

If we see it slowly, we will realize that everything in life is just details. Major events dazzle us so much that sometimes prevent us from seeing those little miracles that surround us every day. A bird that sings, a flower that opens, the kiss of a child in our cheek, are examples of small details that they might do differently in joining our existence.

All relationships, family, marriage, dating or friendship, are based on details. Nobody expects to lift the Atlantic Ocean for him, though he probably did speak on his birthday. Nobody asks you to climb Mount Everest to prove your friendship, but you visit it for a few minutes when you know you're sick.

Some people spend their time waiting for an opportunity to demonstrate your love for someone heroic. The sad thing is that while they await this great occasion let pass many others modest but significant. You can go through life without another person did never need that you were donating a kidney, but waited to return the call.

Is sometimes thought that happiness is like winning the lottery, a majestic event that the overnight change a miserable life full of happiness. This is false, indeed happiness farm in little things, details that pepper our everyday existence.

We too easily fooled by the apparent simplicity. Do not underestimate the power of ever smaller things: a flower, a letter, a pat on the shoulder, a word of encouragement or a few lines on a card. All these may seem like much, but do not think they are negligible.

In moments of greatest happiness or greatest pain become the glue that binds the bricks of this building that we call relationship. The flower will wither, the words will probably be the wind, but the memory of both will remain for long in the minds and hearts of those who received them.

What do you expect then? Write that letter, make that visit, pick up the phone.

Do it now while the opportunity is still yours. DO NOT seem put off then by little. In relationships there are small things, there are only those made and those that remained in good intentions ...
