I recently attended a U2 concert and while they played all the oldies from the Joshua Tree album, they ended with a new song called “The little things that give you away”.
The phase has been haunting me the past week. It’s a very cleaver play on words. And a profoundly simple truth.
To those we love and those closest to us, it really is the little things that seem to define us the most. The kind word, the cleaning up, the remembering of a detail. It reveals that we are fully present for the other.
We may try to express ourselves in big concepts, or ideals, but it’s only in the little acts of love, that we give our self away.
