Life is simple when we choose,
Accepting things as they seem to be,
Yet wondering if we win or lose,
That which we can, and cannot see.
We walk; sometimes run
To that we desire, and want;
Not thinking of the other,
Struggling through life, and others haunt.
Let go; life is short, but we can’t see clearly;
Pushing, pulling, complicating, not looking above,
Realizing one who loves us dearly,
Let’s keep it simple, led by the one who loves.
These were my thoughts when I read a devotional by Chuck Swindoll on Wednesday. He provides excellent insight and wisdom for today’s living. /insight.org/resources/daily-devotional/individual/keep-it-simple1
We all believe differently but let’s consider the Love that abounds, for us and others.
Blessings along the Way!

Lovely poem…we all would be much happier if we could take life as it comes, and not overthink it.
Thank you so much KT. Life is too short to major on the minor things; although I still do it. 🙂
Me too… 🙂
Bellas palabras. Aunque pensemos diferente y creamos en dioses distintos, el amor es el único camino.
Un abrazo, Ron.
Gracias. El amor llega más allá de los lÃmites.🙂
Thank you for sharing. I am also reading some of Chuck Swindoll’s devotional materials.
I appreciate you following my writing, and I plan to return to read more of yours.
I receive great inspiration from Chuck. I’m glad I came across your blog and look forward to reading them regularly. 🙂
Simple yet powerful thoughts, beautiful pictures!
Thanks so much! 😊
A very fantastic poem, and some wonderful pictures to go with it!. Both the words and the photos made me feel very peaceful 🙂
Aww, thanks M.B. It’s up to us no doubt and our frame of mind. 😊
top picture, love it.. great text too
Bless you and thank you. The bee and flower remind me to be still and reflect on the simple beauty around us. The fog reminds me how our sight is obscured many times. The cityscape reminds me of a complicated life, hustle and bustle. I prefer simplicity and clarity. 😊
I am a happy senior that finally after years of thinking about how to talk to people about my faith,philosophy and life, I had bee tattooed on my right wrist. This way.. there are always questions and wonder, and I am ready!
That must be a good reminder then. We all should stand ready to show love and share to those willing to accept. 🙂
Very nice, Ron. We do tend to complicate things.
Thanks Dan. I do too for sure.
Good ol’ Chuck! I used to listen to his talks on the radio. They were always so engaging.
I know. I can relate to his comments. He explains simply and with common sense. Thanks! 🙂
Very true your words, dear friend .. The easy and simple thing is to love and we complicate life with hatred and spitefulness .. Kisses and hugs of light😘💖
Thanks so much! Imagine the world if we showed due respect and love. 😊
Would be wonderful 🙂
Lovely! 🙂
