Small change, small wonders - these are the currency of my endurance and ultimately of my life

Small change, small wonders - these are the currency of my endurance and ultimately of my life

Barbara Kingsolver, the renowned American novelist, once said, “Small change, small wonders - these are the currency of my endurance and ultimately of my life.” This quote encapsulates Kingsolver’s belief in the power of small acts and moments to shape our lives and sustain us through difficult times. Throughout her writing, Kingsolver explores the idea that it is often the seemingly insignificant details and gestures that have the most profound impact on our lives.

In her novel “The Poisonwood Bible,” Kingsolver delves into the lives of the Price family as they navigate the complexities of life in the Belgian Congo. Through the eyes of the four Price sisters, we see how small acts of kindness, resilience, and compassion can make a world of difference in the face of adversity. From the simple act of sharing a meal with a stranger to the quiet moments of reflection and introspection, Kingsolver shows us that it is often the small things that sustain us and give us the strength to carry on.
