For Today - Keeping It Simple

There's no limit to how complicated things can get, on account of one thing always leading to another.  - E. B. White

Today's reading is timely -- it includes the sentence "If I stop and think about what is important, I can put aside the useless, the heavy, the habit."  Yesterday was wobbly and I need to take a deep breath, remind myself what is important and trust. 

Life can be so very simple:  breathe, pray, move, eat, love, sleep.  And when it all feels so complicated, may I focus on these things.  I know this for sure (even if I have to keep reminding myself):
  • I won't starve.
  • I am loved.
  • If I seek help, I will find it.
This morning's quote is from the legendary children's literature author, E. B. White, who wrote Charlotte's Web.  There are countless gems in that book, of course, but the one that resonates with me this morning is startling in its simplicity:

“Wilbur didn't want food, he wanted love.”
