"Directly or by default, we are choosing to live simple or complex lives every day. If your life is rushed or stressed or complicated, you may feel that circumstances or fate have somehow trapped you in your crazy lifestyle. But I would challenge you to look very closely at your life and see how often your choices are dictating the simplicity or the chaos in which you live. I really believe that when we are honest with ourselves we can see that, at least to some extent, we are choosing our way into the complicated conditions that confound us. At the very least, we are failing to choose a simpler way."
-- From "A Place Called Simplicity - The Quiet Beauty of Simple Living" by Claire Cloninger

I flipped to a new page in my calendar today (flip calendar). The quote is from Leonardo da Vinci. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
