Achieving equanimity amidst gridlock, crisis, and loss often expands the soul in ways that don't disappear the Monday morning after that high-buck vision quest. For peace of mind, watch your breath go in and out. Watch your desires rise and fall. And watch your pennies to see if spending them is getting you any closer to an authentic life. So watch out for the sideshow barkers dressed up like Martha Stewart who promise to simplify your life for a pretty penny.
Simplicity is slow.
It's a bit shy, coming out only in moments of silence, solitude, and sanity. You can't get it at the mall. You won't find it on the web. Ask yourself what really matters to you and then coil your life around it and don't let go.
