The Hidden Power of the Small and Unseen

Scientists have discovered something mind-blowing about the atom. Almost all of its mass is packed into a tiny nucleus that's 10,000 times smaller than the atom [music] itself. A point that's impossible to see holds an enormous power, and when that power is released, you get a nuclear bomb. And a single microscopic cell contains all the information needed to build an entire body. What is too small to see holds everything. And let's admit it, we live in a world that worships the big and the loud. The number of likes, the size of the numbers, who's the loudest, and we feel that if what we're doing is small, quiet, or unseen, then it doesn't matter at all. My small action doesn't make [music] a difference. I'm not big enough to make an impact. The prophet Micah said three words that define life, and walk humbly with your God. It is precisely modesty, the small and hidden act, that holds everything together. Our sages said that the [music] world stands on hidden righteous people whom no one knows. What is unseen supports what is seen. Science has proven that the smallest thing holds the greatest power. Micah knew [music] that the modest and hidden sustains the world. The Holy One, blessed be He, does not measure us by size or by voice. He sees specifically the small act that no one else [music] noticed. Let us not belittle the small. Let us recognize that it is what holds everything together.
