May you live simply.
May you remember the basics.
May you resist the urge to overcomplicate life.
Simply breathe and move
and speak with care,
offering all the good you hold in your heart.
And then let go,
in love,
with faith and an open hand.
Let life bloom in its own sweet way.
And trust that
all will be well.
~ C. C.
