One thing I have been pondering the past month or so, though, is what Simplicity is to me...
Indeed, it is a return to many of the ways practiced by our ancestors. Yet, what lies behind a desire to do so?
I suppose the reasons could be as varied as those who make the decision to embark upon such a journey. For some, it may be out of necessity. For others, it is borne out of a longing to shed the complexities of contemporary, modern day living. After all, we as a species do tend to make that which ought to be really quite simple as complex and difficult as is humanly possible. But, I digress...
I would have to say that I, personally, fall into the latter category. Yet, it is even more than that for me...
A return to simplicity not only incorporates my desire to live more simply, but BE more simple. Not only in deed, but in be-ing... in thought.
For me, this journey is not only about learning the old ways of doing things, but learning to think more simply.
Let's face it. Over the centuries, we have piled an awful lot of mental garbage upon our plates. Life is meant to be so much more simple than we have made it - in many ways. So, when I say that I have embarked upon a journey to return to simplicity... I mean to do so in mind, body, and spirit. At least to the very best of my abilities.
I hope you will continue to join me...
