The smaller I am, the bigger the world around me.

 

small,

companions,

whispers,

implications,

reminders,

messengers,

witnesses,

representatives,

navigators,

wayfarers,

my very own, dear

friends and relatives,

strangers welcome,

thermodynamic,

electromagnetic,

sonorous,

rhythmical,

microscopic and grandiose,

some defend their territory,

some others pass into another dimension.
