small but huge

I bought this fabric painting of Krishna from The Expanding Light Boutique way back in my early days with Ananda (probably 2000 or 2001, when I had been on the path for only a few years).

I had been moving around a lot in the years leading up to my arrival at Ananda Palo Alto, and the moves accelerated once I arrived in the Palo Alto community, culminating in my move to Ananda Assisi in 2002.

From there it was Lugano (two moves); back to the States, starting out housesitting; Ananda Village (three moves); Ananda Los Angeles (two moves); and back to Ananda Village (five moves).

And this beautiful Krishna came with me throughout all those moves, sometimes thumbtacked to a wall, often tucked away in a box.

But now — finally! — he’s beautifully displayed and protected within a frame. And it only took twenty years — a small but HUGE thing which I’m feeling really good about. 😊

I’ve been reflecting on how huge and exciting small things feel these days.

This morning I made it to Master’s Market at the tail end of “Healthy Senior Shopping” hours. This was the first time I actually browsed the aisles and shopped since we started self-isolating in mid-March!
Small but huge.

We’ve been out of our usual hand soap refill for some time. What made it worse is that the last time (I thought) I purchased it, instead of the gel I accidentally picked up the watery liquid soap for foaming dispensers. So, after not being able to find it anywhere for weeks, the other day it was in stock at Target, so I ordered it, and it arrived yesterday.
Small but huge.

A community resident did a Costco run today and was able to buy us a large container of spring mix — yay! And when I went to pick it up I was able to say hello (masked and from a distance, of course) to several friend/neighbors I hadn’t seen in almost six weeks.
Small but HUGE.

Thank you, God, for blessings small but huge.😄
Amen.💕
