On Simplicity

221-Gina-Lollobrigida-in-Woman-of-Rome-1954

I want to live simply.

I want to sit by the window when

it rains and read books I’ll

never be tested on.

I want to paint because I want to,

not because I’ve got something to prove.

I want to listen to my body,

fall asleep when the moon is high

and wake up slowly,

with no place to rush off to.

I want not to be governed by money

or clocks or any pf the artificial

restraints that humanity

imposes on itself. I just want to be,

boundless and infinite.

-Found this poem on my friend George’s Facebook wall
