(mĭn'ĭ-kĭn), (noun) : a small or dainty creature.
Etymology: Obsolete Dutch "minneken," darling, from Middle Dutch, diminutive of "minne," love, beloved.

People fall into love-in-miniature all the time. The golden glow of the sun reflecting of a girl's hair as you pass her on the street, that old, crumbling book with such a witty first sentence, a random photograph of a bright-eyed dog found on a park bench...

Whatever it is, that tiny, perfect thing catches your heart, and for a moment, you are in love.

I try to capture a fragment of that feeling. That tiny bit of love. That minikin.
