Simplicity Pledge

A    L    O    H    A  !
You couldn't just pick and choose at will 
when someone depended on you, 
or loved you. 
It wasn't like a light switch, 
easy to turn on or off. 
If you were in, you were in. 
Out, you were out.
           Sarah Dessen











Strange how complicated 
we can make things just 
to avoid showing 
what we feel!
        Erich Maria Remarque









“It is not so long ago that a member of the Diplomatic Body in London, who had spent some years of his service in China, told me that there was a Chinese curse which took the form of saying, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ There is no doubt that the curse has fallen on us.”
“We move from one crisis to another. We suffer one disturbance and shock after another.”
                            Sir Austen Chamberlain, 
addressing the annual meeting of Birmingham Unionist Association
March, 1936











The most complicated skill
is to be simple.
 Dejan Stojanovic

  3. That curse has always struck me as particularly vicious.

  4. An interesting post. I am becoming more & more frustrated with technology and fondly remember days with a landline, regular letters in the mailbox etc. There seemed to be so much less stress when things were simple.
