simple

Lately I have been looking for ways to pare down my life. I have eaten out less, I have slept more...and recently I have stepped away from the cell phone.

I am trying to limit myself to doing one thing at a time.

The resulting quiet, even when I still use electronics, still have internet access, still have friends, is astonishing.

There is quiet in my house.
There is quiet in my brain.

as a result, I know what I think more often, and I say it better.
I know what I feel more often, and I attend to it better.
I know who I am more often, and I live it better.

The key, I think, will be doing this as my life accelerates.

I believe it is worth the effort.
