"Less is more" has been one of my guiding mantras on my path to presence.
Back in the days I was so busy that I could not hear what either I or the world around me truly needed.
I was blinded.
Today, everytime I feel that I cannot see the forest for all the trees, I try to listen deeply and reduce or remove:
- Noise
- Things to take care of
- Toys
- Input
- Meetings
- Possession
- Distractions
For the same purpose I like to organise, clean, repair, cancel, redirect or delegate things that block me.
Nothing reminds me more of that principle than the italian way of living.
An espresso, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. A lemon that you can eat directly from the tree with peel.
Life isn't complicated.
We just like to make it complicated at times.
