Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion.
"Where I lived, And What I Lived For"
Those are powerful words. We clutter and over complicate everything. "Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity." I respect that and I am learning to love it. Resourcefulness and simplicity are an innate part of Dominican culture and I am quickly falling in love with their simplistic way of life. Nature is our home, nature is our gift, and above all, nature is our sanctuary and connector to the Creator.

get outta there. your getting to weird for me. they are taking yake over the edge!!!
my friend, I'm so delighted to read of your travels and that u are enjoying your experience.. Please disregard the childish comments made by the non-understanding, misguided, and misunderstood.. Your search for growth has obivously led you to great experiences not everyone can appreciate, although young minds developed in the simplistic regions of the south, i.e. places like Madill, OK, Purcell, OK, & TYLER, TX should be able to understand the depth of your words on the topic of simplicity..
LOL.. But in all seriousness, I think u know who this is (gac).. Have fun, enjoy and savor every minute ur there and try to experience all that u can, and take the time to let it all sink in
