Little Becomes Big

This morning, my mind is reflecting on something Genjo Marinello Osho said in his most recently released Teisho, "All The Earth Is Medicine". He said, "Little things can become big things, if we don't attend to them." True, true, true.

Genjo Osho saying that has me pondering the so-called "Little things," that I've been neglecting to address or take care of. I don't even have to look very closely to see that there are quite a few things.

The reasons that I don't take care of the "little things," are pretty simple. I sometimes minimize and say, "that's not a big deal, it can wait." Other times I'm just lazy. In other moments, I'm telling myself, "I'm too busy to deal with this." And sometimes, I just think the "little thing," is a pain in the butt and I tend to procrastinate and put those things off. No matter what the reason is, it can just be me fooling me.

Being attentive, aware, alert to the "small things," is a way for me to understand that, everything we do is in some way, shape or form "important." There's no hoax or illusion in that! I can have better appreciation for these "little things," if I practice well, but diligence is required.
