Simple things....

Simple things ......

We complicate our lives with complicated ideas, machines, schedules, etc...when sometimes it is the simple that really work...the best....or we use simple things to make the complex ....levers, pulleys to make bigger machines, crystals to make computers, a variation or combination of simple to build complex....

Our lives are filled with schedules, plans, which border on the  complex...to get everything done or accomplished .....

Yesterday, I started with a simple plan that evolved into the complex....one simple hour long appointment that morphed into almost four hours long....one simple massage with hot stones,  easy, straight forward....ending four hours later having acupuncture for seasickness, fibromyalgia, shoulder pain.....not bad,,,but so different than I started with...and voila, seasickness mostly dissipated...shoulder pain alleviated...wait and see about my everyday fibro...from tiny little simple needles..and seeds..who would have thought????

From front cover to back cover, the Bible speaks of simple things with big lessons, big ideas, the complex ...
