The Simple Life

THE SIMPLE LIFE Those who live the simple life Are those who enjoy simple things Like driving a car becomes EXHILERATING! Smelling a flower dizzies with JOY! Oh that day I started to live the simple life – Getting the soul the spirit isolated Getting to know myself COMPLETELY! When the very dust on the floor had life had extra meaning Just the touch of my own skin had fascination Meditation Contemplation Both enhanced I felt myself alone in the UNIVERSE! Oh that day I started to live the simple life Just looking out the peephole nearly set my feet in motion THEN when someone lifted the lid When I popped my head into that cool fresh air Ahhhhh heaven!

Imagine being alone in the universe! All would be just as it always was and not corrupted as it is now. Some day perhaps.......!

Thanks for the comment Daver, that one armed bandit was a part of our simple life..lol We'd been given tokens at the camp ground to play a game each, the whole time we were at the casino all my husband could think of was his bike parked outside. I think our gambling was the road. Strange, huge billboards (free breakfast..yeah!:), a small city plumped in the middle of the desert. Part of my memorable 'simple life'. :) love you, Mikki

"Meditation Contemplation", I can see this giving you more of an self awareness, Daver. Moments that refresh the mind and spirit; keeps the child within alive. Enjoying this write! Love, Mikki
