“To a mind that is still,
the entire universe
surrenders.”
Zhuangzi
Photos are very clickable to enlarge
Simplify life,
to make it richer.
Dispose of the un-needed
To create space
For what matters.
Do you see all 6 cranes?
Choices
Can seem overwhelming.
Expectations
can be a harsh master.
When you keep it simple
You have more time.
Can you handle that?
Life becomes fuller
When we fill it less.
Breadfruit Growing
Discard the un-needed
To discover
What you need.
“If you have insight,
you use your inner eye,
your inner ear,
to pierce to the heart
of things,
and have no need
of intellectual knowledge.”
Zhuangzi

Definitely good advice you gave: don't clutter your life with trivialities.
It was hard, but I think I save six cranes,

Oh wise one, you speak well :)
Less is definitely more. I still can't see all 6 cranes.
I was just reading about breadfruit the other day.
"Capric, undecanoic and lauric acids, which are saturated fatty acids, were found to be significantly more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET, the primary insect repellent used against biting insects. For the first time, breadfruit was shown to actually work as a repellent, confirming it as a valid folk remedy, according to Cantrell."

Ok, gotta ask.
Do you pronounce your name like my niece 'Claudia' or does it sound like those things that move about a blue sky on a sunny day... cloud--- ia?
keeping it simple is a discipline itself...and it is really about how we make decisions about life...our time...our relationships...
i bought a book on simplicity once...it was funny as i was really searching...so i bought the book radical simplicity...it looked cool...it came in the mail...it was on how to build underground houses...lol...and recycle...oh well, i got the message i needed i guess...smiles.

Love the quotes from Zhuangzi and the wonderfully insightful pictures. A real treat this morning!
I couldn't disagree more with Zhuangzi (Spelling)
I de-clutter a little every day, feels good :) We both live in 'crane city' Cloudia!
YES. Love your skies too.
Life is easy we just make it too full sometimes.

Aloha!!
Simplicity is the best principle!
Great pics.
The quotes teach me a lot.
Zhuangzi is never easy to grasp !
There's a piece of a yellow crane peaking out atop one of the tall buildings, and it's easy to overlook the red one. .. .
Thanks!
Love the quotes, I try to banish the clutter in my life ;)
The quotes are beautiful and photos are superb. I didn't get it.
Great pics and great advice Cloudia!
