Hoarding Simplicity

A   L   O   H   A !

“To a mind that is still, 

the entire universe 

surrenders.”

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

Just Some Kid

A   L   O   H   A !

" Hugs can do 

great amounts of good -

- especially for children. "

Princess of Wales Diana

 Just somebody else's kids. 

Just like you see every day.

 What is his day like? 

His Questions?    His Future?

Just a kid 

walking with is parents.

Who will he become?

Child of two soldiers.  

What does he worry about?

Do they leave at the same time?

Who can he count on?

What does he understand?

Is that sister to the side?

Just somebody else's kid.

Why does he matter

SO much?
