Simplicity is the state or quality of being simple.In some uses, simplicity can be used to imply beauty, purity, or clarity.
Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good.
John Mayer - The Heart of Life
I don’t drink coffee but I like sitting in every now and then to enjoy the simplicity atmosphere with a cup of drink, with a book, with my laptop and music on even though I was alone sometimes.
I wish it could stay that way forever.

Week 5/52: “Simplicity” is the theme this week. It is not often that you see a hummingbird sitting still. They are usually flapping their wings 12-80 times a second. I saw simplicity in this moment. The sun was shining bright so I went for more of a silhouette feel.

The lines of the walls and the roof tiles against the blue sky formed a combination that was striking in its simplicity. I realize that minimalism is not everyone's cup of tea. I enjoy trying to capture beautiful detail, but also the challenge of a minimalist, semi-abstract image.

I've been admiring this but then discovered during a recent culling go-round that I already owned it. Doh! It's even in my size.
I love the look of this but I might have to add corresponding tucks to the back.
