But it has been simpler for sure.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598434020557723929.post-49769908913102758182017-11-10T22:14:56.329-08:002017-11-10T22:14:56.329-08:00Oh my friend we do get distracted with clutter and...Oh my friend we do get distracted with clutter and unimportant things. I really liked this one because peace and happiness really does need to from within. <br />I loved your ending with finding the simple way of meditation. <br />Always enjoy your thoughts; thanks for this one! <br />Blessings and hugs!

If people could only know that happiness does not wait for them outside. External happiness may work for awhile, but it's so temporary. I love the way you applied this teaching to yourself, but decluttering your meditation area and practice! It seems there's always more we can learn.
