I am taking a vow of simplicity. What this fully entails I am not sure of yet but I need this work in progress to begin at some point and I am tired of feeling overwhelmed by my life. Simplicity in food, clothing, shelter, creed, relationships, beliefs, words, and works.
Most important is to make sure each of my moments is being used to promote my life and the balance of all life.
I love the earth, my children, my husband, my family, and my friends. I have simple needs but confuse those with far more complex desires that haunt and distract me.
It is the time of winter, north, dreams and ancestors. This is a good time for creating plans and preparing for the spring of our new day. I take comfort in the white blanket of this time and appreciate the teachings of simpler ways and simpler times.

I'm miss you, too. Ahh a white blanket of snow I haven't seen one of those yet maybe that is why we are so restless. I also find myself trying to simplify, its so easy to get caught up in things instead of just being. Have you seen the Toa of Steve? I watched it with G's grandma and it lead me to explaining what Toa is. I admit I was suprised she never heard of it before.
