Simplicity.


It's a day at the beach with nothing to do but walk on the cold, wet sand while the surf rages against the shore  and lights of distant ships break through the fog floating as a wisp across the waves.

It's walking the dogs with no leash constraining their necks, but curiosity in their eyes as they ask why are we here and when can we go home. As they look with longing and anxiety at the car that brought them here.

It's forgetting for a moment, that there are bills to pay, lawn to mow, laundry to wash, mouths to feed and people who expect of you things you may not be able to give.

It's letting your mind free itself of all the cares, worries and thoughts that plaque itself while waiting the days, weeks, months that consume your dreams and desires of a life anew.

It's walking for pleasure instead of walking for exercise. It's eating right because it feels good, instead of eating right because you need to diet. It's dancing to music for fun, instead of dancing drunk.

Life, simplicity. Who could ask for more.
