>Thoreau on Simplicity
>As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness. ~Henry David Thoreau I love the above quote. Sometimes–like now for example–I feel as if my life is becoming overly complicated; out of balance. Mostly, I feel I haveContinue reading “>Thoreau on Simplicity”

Surf el Mundo
Now this is something you can be guaranteed I will not be doing anytime soon on my Mundo…but it’s fun to be a spectator.
