Perception … ‘There are things that happen in the world that have an effect out of proportion to their apparent importance.’
There are things that happen in the world that have an effect out of proportion to their apparent importance. It is as if there were always blowing a faint, supernatural wind through the world, holding a secret of assuagement for troubled hearts, that is only perceptible when it can find a straw, a feather, a gossamer-seed, a leaf, in the débris of circumstance light enough for it to stir.
~ John Cowper Powys, Weymouth Sands
