As the years’ pass, needs change.
The need to gather material possessions that was once paramount: a bigger house, better clothes, or the latest technology to streamline lifestyles, has been replaced with the need to nurture and embrace the simple things in life.
As I write these words, my precious dogs lay beside me. Stanley cleaning his paw and Freida asleep, her body moving gently to the beat of her breath.
A freshly brewed coffee sends tendrils of steam into the early morning air, whilst a gentle breeze choreographs the prisms of filtered light as they dance across the table. As it is nearly Christmas, beneath the tree adorned with festive lights and glittering tinsel, lay a handful of presents. As the need to celebrate the season with material love has been replaced with the need to simply share space and time with those we love most.
And therein lies the fundamental meaning of my words.
There is simplicity in life: family, nature, and just being.
Simple things…
