"The things that matter most...

"The things that matter most in our lives are not fantastic or grand. They are the moments when we touch one another, when we are there in the most attentive caring way. This simple and profound intimacy is the love that we all long for. These moments of touching and being touched can become a foundation for a path with heart, and they take place in the most immediate and direct way. Mother Theresa put it like this: "In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love."

- "A Path With Heart" by Jack Kornfield

I flagged this passage almost immediately after I read it but not because of how it relates to me directly but how I see it in practice by someone dear to me.
