It is a new season, and a new season offers new possibilities. The darkness of winter is over and it’s time to dance in the light.
My new season is one that sees me living simpler. I want to abandon the complex because it interferes with the beauty of the present. I want to eat simply, walk simply, write simply and smile simply. I don’t want to dissect the intricacies of my mind or this world, for the beauty itself is in the intangible intricacy. It is that which cannot be explained. It is an unfathomable algorithm that loses its innate charm when constantly poked.
I look back at the things I’ve said, written and done and I
can almost hear my annoying, cynical and childish words scraping my mind like
fingers on a chalkboard. There was nothing simple about them. I don’t even know now what I was trying to
say. I used to think we needed to analyse and problem solve, like the world was
one big algebra sum. Well I’ve since learnt that it is indeed ourselves who conjure up
these improbable equations. If we look around us, there is more simplicity
than problems. We need to learn to invite this simplicity into our lives and
stop creating our own amateur commentary of distorted psychology.
I’m not sure what it means yet to live simply, but I’m going
to give it a try. I sense a profound liberty in doing this.
