The Simple Life

The simple life allows for the important things, the things you can take with you, in your heart and in your mind.   The joy of watching clouds drift by.   Time to see the changes in a child's life day by day.  Time to look across the table at your loved ones, no waitress around, no check to come at the end of the meal, but at a meal prepared with love at home, healthy fare.   A simple uncomplicated life is void of having to impress others, keep up with the Joneses or fall asleep at night with your last thought being about what you want to buy next.   The simple life allows one to notice the changes in the seasons.  I often think about the ancient places across the globe where celestial calendars exist and think if we had to build one today, who would have the time to just watch where the stars are at night or measure where the sun and moon are each day of the year.   In living simply,  one can hear the different songs of the birds, know what creatures make up the night sounds.   The simple life lets one know the pleasure of sound and peaceful sleep.  The simple life demands that you stop and smell all the flowers, not just the roses.
