Find Your Simple

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - Leonardo da Vinci

The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as air comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.

 - Robert Louis Stevenson.

Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking the whole world belongs to you. - Lao Tse

Consider the day's ordinary acts: waking, dressing, cooking, cleaning, consuming, communicating. How will you accomplish these tasks with attention to details, undistracted by the mind's moves?

The sun rises and morning arrives. When the sun sets, evening takes over. Simple. 

Seeking simplicity stimulates joy and happiness.

Nature moves with a patient pace. Everyone needs the exhilaration of a morning breeze, refreshment of a walk, or evening stroll.  

The wildflower, ducks sailing on a pond, or a hawk winging above offer rewards of the simple life.
