A quote from Steve Jobs to start my week. It was really the basis of his work and his contribution to the world,
‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’
And whilst writing my words can’t really compare to the invention of the iPhone or now the infamous iPad, the quote has served as a profound reflection of how I write.
There’s nothing like the value of other individuals reading or hearing my words, in recent times, that have brought this closer to home.
But here’s the following explanation from Steve Jobs that really hit home…
“Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to make your thinking clean, to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
The lesson for me, still, is to keep it simple, it’s applicable then, and moreover accessible to everyone!
Last week, I enjoyed a wonderful journey with the ladies of the BWA, and broadened my poetry circle. It was truly enlightening for me to witness how simple words, phrases, have an impact and bring significance.
My only contribution this week is the poem I had the privilege to write for Ezrah, Tanya Holtman’s daughter. It was my second experiment in ”stepping into the shoes” in this case, of Tanya, and writing from her experience!
There’s so much to capture here and write about, but more next week.
Until then, peace and love to you all,
❤️
