Simple things



How is it that so many us, in pursuit of complicated things, that often take much more effort than they are worth, can miss very impressive simple things? I am very fortunate where I live that I have so many beautiful places close to home, and yet I am often as guilty of missing the simple things as many others. I didn't even mention last Saturday's venture to Austinville and the Little Nerang Dam, somehow I forgot it in pursuit of a "training ride" for the Alpine classic the next day. Yet that ride offered as much beauty as a person could ask for. Really, one wonders how any of us could ever need anything else to be happy.
