por pequeño que sea


Explanation:
Me parece que de todas maneras no funciona entre los guiones, y que habria que darle un giro. Mi sugerencia para la ultima parte de la frase (y perdoname el atrevimiento)sería:

"tambien es la huella de lo que hemos reencontrado en estos ultimos días, por pequeño que sea"

or after the comma, \"sin importar que tan poquito sea\"
