Kim Dana Kupperman on the power of small love letters @ Brevity.

The real history of the world happens in small ways because it concerns the history of love, itself a series of small events. A glance might shift the order of everything, move the heart into open terrain. A heartbeat might slow the unfolding of a wing, which may in turn cause a brief lull in the tide.  A boat might then be delayed.  That series of small hesitations might change history.  I like to think of this quantum condition as a matter of small love letters.
The glance. The altered heart.  The wing in a backwards origami.  The slowing of the tide that delays an arrival or a departure. An accumulation of details that results in History.
