“Though she be but little, she is fierce!”
-William Shakespeare, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.'
I made the decision to deal finally with some long-term issues I've had with my pinky toe. We found a wonderful Podiatrist, Dr. Greg Walters, and I felt it was time to bring my right foot back to full health. How big a deal could it be to have your 'baby' toe - the one that cries 'wee wee wee all the way home' - get a little work done on it?
Yeah, well, I now understand the wee wee wee from a new perspective...
While it's seriously not debilitating, I still find it astonishing how much such a very small part of my body is letting me know that it needs to heal. I have had some major surgery on big parts of my structure, and I had no problem respecting them while they recovered. But my little toe? (or 5th digit as Dr. Greg says) How does it command my respect? After all, what does it do for me?
It's a lesson in not forgetting that the smallest of things can be the mightiest.
Ever feel like you don't have a big voice or a majestic view of your position in the world? It's more likely that you just haven't found the right place to poke and insert yourself. Every one of us, no matter who we are, can make noise and make a difference. Because just like my baby toe, we were put there for a purpose. Here's to finding a way to make ourselves a fierce part of our world.
Cheers.
