Relevant - relating to or bearing upon the matter in hand
I know that people like
grand gestures as a sign
but to me, it’s always been showy
Like flowers sent to the office
.. or a car with a bow ..
All of us know that the size
does not make up for the absence
I really like the small things
The things others don’t notice
because they are only for you
.. or for me ..
Invisible, but meaningful
Something simple can be
..something larger ..
Like listening
Not hearing, but listening
to the soft-spoken secrets
that pour from me to you
so we can build this ship
together, so it will float ..
Like the feeling that I get
when you tell me that you like me,
that you really like me,
and I wonder to myself
how did I get so lucky
to have you really like me?
It’s not the big things
that will change our lives
.. but the smallest of things
The tiny particles of hope
.. floating in the air and
encircling us in their aura
I appreciate the small things
because I know that those things
.. are just for me ..
and when you show me and tell me
.. I know that I matter ..
And I want you to know
.. that you matter ..
Take this note that I
folded in half
and then in half again
and then again & again
.. open it in one year ..
Then tell me what it says
It will be such a small thing
but it will mean everything

Thank you Louise .. I will confess I did not consider that possibility
I wrote based on my way of thinking

Some people comment to be seen & to be heard
not to contribute something meaningful
not to commune
not to enter a conversation

Thanks Fatima .. I hope all is well with you & your beautiful family
Well said: “Little actions can be remembered for a lifetime”
I remember my Mom creating homemade Valentine cards - because she could not afford to buy them.
Decades later .. your words brought that picture to mind.
.. If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way ..

Thanks Pascal ..
Humility and consistency even if perceived small are bigger acts of courage in my book
"Acts of courage" often might be "small"
Other times .. one needs to be like a lion or an eagle
Especially when speaking out against .. pushing back against what seems to be embraced without THOUGHT or a fight

Multiplied thanks dear friend 💕
Your words ring with truth .. you say:
I am sure when people read and comment favorably. the favorable part is questionable, as it is usually a showcase to please and not as an acceptance of your thoughts.

The point of being RELEVANT is toward the subject or topic
In NO way meaning .. AGREEMENT
It is my practice .. to check a post “Relevant” .. mostly out of RESPECT that someone took the time to write
.. even when I'm NOT in Agreement .. it is still “Relevant”
At times .. I even share post that I'm NOT in Agreement with .. though - I like to explain WHY I'm NOT in agreement
@Javier 🐝 CR .. this is a good example of what I mentioned earlier .. 🍯🍯
In the past when sharing a post - we could write WHY we are sharing
.. Especially when in complete disagreement with the subject
.. The ability to add comments .. when sharing a post .. ENHANCE the subject & conversation

Dear Fay, what a fascinating topic and discussion path you've laid. So truly expressed and what it explains is correct. I am sure when people read and comment favorably. the favorable part is questionable, as it is usually a showcase to please and not as an acceptance of your thoughts.
