Description
3 Small Things
A Seed. Leaven. A Pearl.
Three powerful wisdom teachings.
Three parables.
Three small things.
First Small Thing
There was once a Parable-Maker
who noticed the seeds that grew into shrubs.
And the shrubs were alive with fluttering birds.
They were at home and enjoying the branches.
And the Parable-Maker trusted the hearers
to take up the challenge and use their imagination.
We open our hearts to the care that is ours.
Second Small Thing
There was once a Parable-Maker
who noticed the merchants selling their goods.
They traded their wealth for deep hidden desires
not counting the cost in search of the treasure.
The Parable-Maker trusted the hearers
to take up the challenge and seek what is needed.
We open our hearts to the joy of our longing.
Third Small Thing
There was once a Parable-Maker
who tasted the bread baked daily by women.
He noticed the yeast folded in flour
working unseen and expanding the loaf.
The Parable-Maker trusted the hearers
to take up the challenge and imagine what’s here.
We open our hearts to what’s hidden and waiting.
