Hoarding Simplicity

A   L   O   H   A !
“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

Thank You, Friends!

  1. Definitely good advice you gave: don't clutter your life with trivialities.

    It was hard, but I think I save six cranes,

  3. Less is definitely more. I still can't see all 6 cranes.

  4. 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."
