Tiny Grain of Sand

Tiny Grain of Sand
Anything changing the flow can have a great impact

Just a little kernel,
a tiny piece of sand
can change a forward motion
with minor irritation.
Who knows what
might have been
if that little rock
hadn’t been in the shoe
of the moving man.
Because of the few moments
when he bent to remove his shoe,
what did he miss out on
in his ongoing life plan?

Prompt: Te is the concept of the strength and the power of the small. It is the courage of Piglet, from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. It is the parable of the mustard seed, and the acorn that grows the mighty oak. Te is about finding amazing amounts of power in the least likely of places. Te is the ability of anything small to overcome obstacles or challenges greater than they seem to have the power to overcome. Te is part of the Daoist tradition.
