i had an ex-coworker who loved to say “the devil’s in the details”.  i have always liked the expression, so i googled it just now, and learned that there are numerous variations:  god is in the details, excellence is in the details, design is in the details, a man’s life is in the details. all of which arrive at the same conclusion: the little things matter. each of the tiny dried flowers above, a little larger than a good-sized grain of sand, fed dozens of bees and wasps during its fierce, showy, self-involved little time in the spotlight.
