simple versus easy...


meditation. seems so easy. but that is not the case. it is simple. but it is anything but easy. what a novel idea: simple versus easy. i keep saying i want a simple life. this is accurate. but maybe what i have been striving for is an easy one. im always telling darkwing that he overcomplicates. everyone overcomplicates. and maybe this is because it is easier to do so. maybe simple is just too difficult. im not being too articulate about this. and maybe it is because for the last 90 minutes i have been thrashing my brain to let go of words and feelings and just to be. to be without thought. or maybe because it is such a simple concept, it is not easy to express.

things that are simple, yet not easy - thus oftentimes we choose the complicated path:

simple: give someone a criticism. easy: tell other people the criticism of that person.

simple: follow your heart. easy: follow others' expecatations

simple: maintain long, meaningful friendships. easy: make new friends.

others?
