Simplicity

Simplicity means always travelling close to home. Home is where we are calm, centered and peaceful despite what may be happening in our lives. While appearances can fool us into thinking that we need to be on the lookout for the next impending disaster, all we really need to remember is how to laugh, love and be filled with the promise of a new day. These simple qualities teach us to take it easy when we feel ourselves rise, and help us to disengage from any unnecessary drama we may find ourselves involved with. Simplicity is the choice to see life as it is – not as we would like it to it be, or not like it to be, but as it is. With this simple recognition, we are able to embrace what lies before us with open arms and loving hearts, being guided only by faith, trust and surrender. When we have momentarily lost sight of the truth, simplicity brings forth the clarity to assure us that all of our experiences exist for the sole purpose of teaching us who we really are. Let simplicity lead you back to the gentle understanding that happiness comes not from our lives being perfect, but from our willingness to accept ourselves as we are – as beings of pure perfection.
