Keep it simple. Simple food. Simple life. Don’t over complicate Your life. Let it be.
Look at the mulberry tree that has outlived you by 300 years and wonder at the simplicity of its existence that allows it to grow new shoots every year, whilst propped up with a post and looking like a knarled old man leaning on his stick. And all that is required by this icon of longevity is the soil that the earth provides, the rain and the sun. Look at the bark tracIng tIme so beautifully decorated with the cracks and scars and mossy growth of the years. Look at the stone embedded in the trunk. A chaffinch on its bough.
Take time to be still in the world. Like the tree. Bend with the storm. Reach for the sun.
Keep it simple. Nourish your Mind and your body. Exercise your mind and your body. Keep it simple. Keep it simple.
