Simplicity. 

“For me the deepest sense of wellbeing and ease derives from simplicity and clarity”- John Pawson.

The human body is a complex organism, functioning mostly with the upmost of precision and unity. There’s an intelligence within it, that could be considered to be the epitome of how complexity can be des-tilled into simplicity. Seen through the most elemental of functions, the capacity of the body to breathe, move, communicate, digest and excrete. In this way the body shows how complexity informs simplicity- singular functions synchronised by multiple cells, organs and tissues- as its ultimate expression.

Complexity is often something perceived to be worthy of pursuit, associated with intelligence, sophistication, however complexity is also related to complicated and incomprehensible. Whilst we are complicated creatures who live in a complex world the body reminds us that simplicity can also be sought. Simplicity could be the way of finding flow and stillness, keeping us grounded amidst our many spinning parts. A practice and philosophy of removing all that is extraneous, keeping us connected to our core. What do you think?
