Simplicity to tranquility
everyday
I say this as there are many bits, lists and possibilities swirling around in my head. I write this as a note to self. If in doubt, keep it simple and tranquility comes easier… I hear complex woven stories and wonder how a simpler story or perhaps none at all may be possible. My previous article In difficult times - Your centre is a calm kind I write about turning to tranquility. It’s in a simple approach that I feel I can traverse to tranquil waters quicker.
This is a general approach I like to take when it comes to making choices, problem solving in all aspects of life including health. Amongst the natural order of chaos and in the same breath, science of things it doesn’t make this approach necessarily easy. Within complexity of thought, the application and intention of it can be simplified to be better understood. That is the tangible benefit.
When I write, it is with this in mind. With finite time and energy, it seems the simplistic path is worthwhile. Tending to systems that make life simpler ultimately pays off with rewards greater than the energy expended. When it comes to lifestyle, simplicity is free from excessive possessions and distractions. So generally there is a cleansing and streamlining of self which gains clarity. This makes it easier to continue on the simple dedicated path.

This path in clear simplicity is one that has always lingered in my life and now it takes centre stage drawn to it like the rain to the oceans, bee to the flower and love to my soul. Basking in tranquility as I simply be.
Simplicity
Thoughts
distill
to compassion
Rummaging through
the pile
to find what I need
Rather not have
the pile at all
I have choices
and one purpose
