There is the term Té, which means power and great in the small. Or that even the slightest thing, whether it be a person and their attributes or a brief moment of time in nature during one of its splendid cycles is big. It’s powerful. It’s a profound moment or a profound action that hits home, and you may not have even seen it coming! It’s random acts of kindness and beauty, the help you may get from someone when you drop something and they pick it up for you. It’s stumbling on a scene that’s so unexpected and moving that you spend several minutes marveling at how lucky you are to witness it. It’s Té. Read my Substack article for more of what I’m talking about and see if you don’t start to see those moments too! https://open.substack.com/pub/scarletdarkwood/p/gratitude-in-the-small-things?r=6c13y&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
