simple days.

as we grow older,

the days grow simpler.

no, they grow more

complicated.

but the desire for simplicity becomes

stronger. 

it's funny how the simple people often wish for

a flamboyant life

and the flamboyant people find themselves pining for

a simple life.

i like simplicity. 

it's like the rain. steady, clear,

always refreshing.

and simple days, too. when things get too busy--

when you have no spare moments to use for

pondering,

or laying on your back and just

breathing,

the world becomes a dreary place. 

and so this is a simple post. 

the days have been so full. i have so much to say.

i have so much to write.

so many things to remember.

but i just want to breathe. and let it all go.

so here is a simple post that is only meant to say, 

"hello, i'm alive still,

just trying to breathe.

i have forgotten my capitals today,

but i haven't forgotten you."
