Today is National Simplicity Day which celebrates the life and philosophy of American author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau. One of his oft-repeated quotes is “Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”

Whether your interest is Minimalism, Nature or Transcendentalism, Thoreau is worth reading (again). Here is today’s haiku:

Simple Enjoyment

Following one’s breath

or focusing on an ant,

enjoy solitude.
