“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” -Leonardo da Vinci
It’s in the simplicity of life that we are renewed. A walk. Coffee with a friend. A bike ride. Prayer. Working in the garden. A nap.
It’s in the simplicity of life that we are awakened. A sunset. The sound of the rushing stream. A flower in full bloom. A caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
It’s in the simplicity of life that we become more creative.
“To get into a rhythm of creativity, we need to find a rhythm of simplicity in the everyday.” -Diana Baur
Diana continues, “Being creative doesn’t happen in isolation – it happens as an extension of our habits. If we have good habits in keeping our lives simple, then creativity has a chance to flow. If we choose to make our lives complicated with unnecessary distractions, there simply will be no time, no energy and no real desire to allow creativity to blossom.”
How will we live in simplicity today?

Carma, thank you for including me in your post! I do believe the simpler we keep things, the more chance we have to call our creative energy to the forefront. xo
