Simplicity
Why did we stray so far from you
Into mixed up corridors and mazes of complexity
Which lead us around in circles
Or tie us up in knots
Exhausting us
Until we feel emptied out
Of energy and life
Failing anyway
To understand something that can only be
Known
With simple powers of perception
That lie far from this convolution
Where has it gone
The soothing moment of pleasure and presence
Where we touched our own heart
Or each others bodies
Or the soul of nature
Don’t these precious simple moments
Give us more
Than all the wordly things
We pursue for comfort
Or to hide from how we really feel
Deep down inside
Denying what we truly need
For a true feeling of being alive?
Maybe I am
Just a voice sounding in the wilderness
But I am sure I am not alone
In feeling that the simple pleasures give us more
Exhaustion seems so much a part of modern life
When did we forget
The sheer healing power
Of simplicity?

Yes. Its not only that though things are moving faster these days in days past. Its not all bad but it has inherent difficulties. And we cant just be pulled along unconsciously and feel bad if we fall short of systems that dont suit us organically.

I totally agree! I was just reading a book about the 1960a home- even baking trays could be turned into something! We have such a throw away culture now x
