Simplicity

Living. The Great Spirit is not complex yet is unbounded. The Mother abides in simplicity yet is infinite. The Wise Elder knows that only man creates complications. Without man, all worlds become themselves, Without interference, without contradiction, In their own time. The heart of simplicity lies in patience. Waiting for the circle and spiral to unfold, Allowing all things to come to their own fruition. The Wise Elder understands that simplicity In living and in dying Hastens his journey back to the Great Spirit.
