Pic and a Poem # 10

 

 

 

 

     simplicity is

     freedom

     spacious and pure,

     ruthlessly peel back

     all these layers of life,

     keep what is true

     release what is false,

     distill it down to it's

     bare essence,

     the bones of being,

     empty each moment

     to the bottom

     of it's deep well, 

     chisel experience

     down to small pebbles

     that you drop in

     marked with the question

     "who am i?"

     seek the answer

     at the center of stillness

     formless and wordless,

     the simplicity of what

     is known and not learned,

     bring it back,

     paint it on the walls of

     your life,

     wisdom comes in few words

     awareness

     feeling

     love

 

 

This one came as a total stream of consciousness, and I have left it as is.

I do know that I have been contemplating simplicity a lot lately. Craving it in my life.

Would love to hear how you think about simplicity.
