Thank you for sharing this, Sarah. This story reminded me of something I wrote in a photo art book I published last year:

"An imperceptible flutter

that changes a heart;

An unobserved thought

that changes a mind;

An act of simple kindness

that changes a relationship;

Daily commitment that

creates family and community;

Unnoticed decisions that

change the course of history;

Unremarkable people

that change the world.

The small, unnoticed things;

The things we never see

unless we stop to look;

The things that, once see,

change the way we live.

This is beauty.

The beauty of small things."
