Noll: "Shift to Uncomplicate"

Card Design by A. Szabo

Now, standing at the doorway to spring - the season of new beginnings - I offer this suggestion: "Shift to uncomplicate."

Shake loose the constraints which bind you to compete for inconsequential objects and matters. For you also are as lilies of the field.
---------
Bask in the sunshine.....it costs nothing.
Draw deep the free fragrance of the rain-drenched earth.
Marvel at the magic of new leaf emerging from bare branch.
Remark how every flower is slightly different though same.
---------
Understand, nature's intricacies do not make life complicated, though the intricacies themselves are complicated. It is always how you respond to the lilies of the field that matters. "Shift to uncomplicate."
-------
Admire the lily just as it is. Do not tempt yourself to gild it.

For simplicity and freedom are one.
