I was reading the General Conference issue of the Ensign the other night, and I came across the talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. He mentioned in his talk that Leonardo da Vinci is quoted as saying, "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." This really struck me as profound. The talk is about focusing on the essentials of the Gospel, slowing down, focusing on the basics. I could really appreciate this because I have been feeling like I have no time for anything. I am trying really hard to focus on those basics again, knowing that if I do, everything else will fall into place. :) When I take the time to read my scriptures and pray, when I focus less on the fashion blogs I follow...things in life are more peaceful. It almost seems as if it's harder to NOT have all the technology today, to go the day without my cell phone. But, when I do go the day without all the high-tech gadgets I feel so free! Leonardo da Vinci had it right, simplicity really IS the ultimate sophistication.
