Back to Basics

Sometimes

your bag ain’t big enough to hold all the things you need.

The sad reality,

sometimes your head isn’t big enough either.

And with that overwhelming fed-up feeling,

only then

do you become ruthless about tossing stuff

thought essential

but can most assuredly be done without.

Get rid of extraneous chatter and superfluous decorations.

Consolidate customary courtesies

and dump the damn document delegation.

Too many tasks

tax the grey matter,

make sensory input inconsequential.

If you come through the other side with less

you win

and will be grateful no doubt.

Simplicity is clean fresh air taken in clear blue sky

bringing life back to balance and harmony.

You masterpiece,

complex entity of mind and matter,

spirit and DNA,

molecular-through-subatomic-particle-defying-description.

Nothing else in life need be complicated.
