Simplicity is beauty…

Simplicity has the best in pronunciation and meaning as well. It is the freedom from complexity or intricacy. I mean who really does love a world with drama? - I don’t

When you have “complications” - that’s simply life telling you to take a step back, observe, then move forward. This is the Zen principle of Shibumi called “Koko” (austerity). It is the art or ideal of emphasing exclusion or restraint, “not adding” yet gaining… Refrain from adding what is not absolutely necessary in the first place. When you simplify your life, all that was needed or missed takes its own place.

Simplicity of character is the natural result of profound thought. Beauty, or the beauty of self and utility(actions, thoughts, words), need not be overstated, excessively dress or exotic imparts of a sense of being fresh, understood or… Simply beautiful… You’ll find the most beauty in the simplest things… Not the simplest people. Learn to eliminate what doesn’t matter to make more room for what does.

Be still, find your center, and observe the naturalness of life. Find balance within self between being at once ‘of your life’(nature), yet distinct from it. When you come to such an intersection, you have no choice but to slow down, have some soul interaction, and use your intelligence, but it doesn’t mean it has to come to a full stop. It just means you are able to provide a platform for open innovation & understanding.

There is nothing easy about achieving simplicity of yourself, or life in general, but there is beauty in being able to and sensing the awareness of it.
