The Little Things: A Sonic Poem

There’s something about a hummingbird, isn’t there? So tiny, yet such big beauty. Shimmering mesmerizing beauty. 

I can sit on our balcony in Playa del Rey and watch the hummingbirds feed all day. So can my cat, but she’s mostly trying to figure out how to jump high enough to reach our feeder and feed herself. 

Some might say sitting around watching hummingbirds is a waste of time, but I’d contend that finding contentment in such little luxuries is the key to finding contentment in life. 

Here’s a little PockPoem expressing as much, which I wrote, illustrated, animated, and scored, with love. It’s a little thing, but it means a lot to me, and hopefully it will mean a little something to you.

You know, 

Don’t you?

The tiniest little things

Can make you 

The most happy

If you but let them.
