Simplicity.

I don't know if I consider it beautiful or good, but I strive for it because I think embracing simplicity allows me to experience life in a purer form. That is, not allowing my life to be clouded by society, changing times, bad people, the sort of thing the has not yet clouded the judgment of little children. Simplistic.

Because of this,

;__; your dad is my hero! That is indeed a lovely statement. It's very inspirational. I want to put it on t-shirts and mugs and sell it on zazzle!!!!

But honestly, I agree with a lot of this entry. Simplicity is really just...exquisite. I love things that speak volumes in as few words as possible, like when you read a poem or story that has memorable lines that just speak to you. I remember this one poem I read had a line about "God" being too small of a word to define what it is. Just now I was looking for that line to illustrate, but alas, I can't find it. Anyway, it was really simple, but just so outrageously perfect. I remember reading it over and over again, because it just meant so much more than it could even say.

And I don't think you're naive for believing in the good of humanity. :) I think that just makes you awesome.

lol I just had this vision of people walking around with shirts that say, "Try to live right, pray for the others, and let God take care of the rest--Glen Marstall", and then everybody being like, "Who the heck is Glen Marstall??" ;)

I'm there with you! I have a new motto, courtesy of Hildegard of Bingen:
Simple. Pure. Good.

I think I might've already told you this, but it totally goes along with what you're saying. So yay for being on the same page, cuz now we can remind one another of this goal and help each other move towards it.
