She said: "God created small things for their speed. If small things were to multiply and continue to show their beauty to us, they would have to be swift in order to survive. Which is not to say that large creatures are not beautiful in their way because they are. But, I think that small creatures such as some birds and butterflys and Dragon Flies and small fishes are closer to God than we are and that they are God's favorite creations. Sometimes we don't even notice them and I think that they try to keep their distance from us Humans and that is probably for the best, don't you think? Small creatures have a grace that we can admire. Small things in general, I think, are to be admired for their grace; like a small thought kept in memory, or a small wish for love, a small kiss that begins a day and a small breath that ends it; like a single flower and like the dew on grass and a smile that broadcasts to everyone your grace and God's perfection. It is, after all, the small things that matter the most."
