For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

I came upon this very old proverb recently (thanks M and D), and it reminded me how small actions can lead to big consequences. And yet it is so very hard to imagine at the front end how much can result from one seemingly small action…only in hindsight does this become more obvious. It reminds me of the importance of listening to my gut and having faith, and of the interconnectedness of all things.
