Find the Essence

"Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful."- John Maeda



Simplicity strips away the superfluous to revival the essence.

              Take the opportunity to cultivate a version of simplicity.





Unmoored
in midnight water
no waves, no wind
the empty boat
is flooded with moonlight
               -  Eihei Dogen





"The meaning of simplicity is to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak up," says Hans Hoffman.


To what shall
I liken the world?
Moonlight, reflected
In dewdrops,
Shaken from a heron's bill.
- Dogen Zenji






On ease of wings
to flirt with breeze.
Destiny
not necessary.






Sky ninja
branch to branch
catches
an innocence of insects.



Find the essence.
