Simple Things

Simple things are best.

Heard of a church class named "Been there, done that." What a great name and how true it is.

Some of us have chased the not so holy grails of success, money power, popularity, looking good, ad nauseum. When we get to the end of the rainbow, there is only rust. Our goals are illusory, intangible, the fruits are bitter to the taste.

We return to simplicity. A simple love of God and our fellow man. We learn that relationships are more important than honors and people more important than positions. We have come home to our basic values.

Sunsets are more beautiful than the highest priced art. Bread when we are hungry and water when we are thirsty are better than the best continental cuisine.

A ride on the Harley beats transportation on the Concord.

Fresh air is ours to breath (at least for those of us who ride in the Wilderness).

A smile, a hug, simple love and affection are treasures that money can not buy. Even hard work grants us sound sleep.

Friendship is simple-so is love.

An honest and unassuming blog. What more could we ask.

Even blood, sweat and tears are honest and simple things. Simple emotions for a complex time and a complex people.

HarleyDad makes a plea for the simple things in life. A baby's cry, a bird's song, the rustle of the wind. All are better and more honest than the very best music.

It does not get better than this. It is time to ride, now!! A ride home to the basics of simplicity.
