Simplicity Keeps Us Focused

It’s the simple things in life that keep us focused:
chop wood, fetch water, peel vegetables, cook and serve.

The machinations in life keep us defocused and worried.
The more complicated our thinking is,
the further we move away from the simple truth.

Our true essence is simplicity itself,
but we seek something more interesting.

Unfortunately, we have made our life complex,
but we can deal with it as simply as we can.

Others may complain, but still we remain simply focused.
