Write into Simple



How much I desire
Inside my little satchel
the moon and flowers
                - Basho


Get ready for spring with an uncluttering.

What if you reduced your complex world to simple necessities?  Which areas of life would you work on first?

Begin with two that you cannot do without.  Then consider reduction in other areas to create smooth simplicity.

Could you clear your closet of clothes?  Why let unworn clothing hang around?  Wear what you love.

Choose an emotional part of life to unclutter.

Move into your basic needs and add what gives you joy as you write about simple necessities. Include a
strength like courage or trust.

Do you notice a poem or personal essay peeking from the writing flow?
