 Here I am by the Toronto Waterfront. You can faintly see the CN Tower out in the background here in the West End and just decided to go for a walk down by the water side. There's something about being by the water that makes me feel so refreshed. It's like the simplicity of it when there's nothing in your vision but half sky and half water. It really helps to simplify everything. So much of what I keep thinking about seems to keep coming back to that. If I can just simplify my life and reduce all the things I don't need to be thinking about then what I'll be left with is all the best things. So it's like what I need in my life is not more things but less things getting in the way of what's already good. So well here the wind comes. I wonder how that's going to sound. Well I after breakfast went out for a walk to come down to the water and I'm just just walking around out here and listen to the sound of that lapping water far away traffic. It's like when I come to a place like this makes me forget about all the little things that might have been bugging me. They really become irrelevant when we just take things back to the water. I think the water is something that's really built into all of us to really respond to and if you think about just the nature of life itself like we are what is it 80 70 80 90 percent water somewhere in there and we come from the water the creatures we only stepped on to land you know much more recently in the history of life than we we spent most of the history of life in the water and even as we come to land we're like these bubbles of water that we carry these little pockets of water that we carry as we go up onto the land so water is something that's just at the center of life itself in so many ways and you know knowing that in theory it's not really necessary to think about the theory of it but it just seems like there's something about that that by just being around the water this feeling comes back it triggers some kind of primitive sense of what's good this kind of basic material foundation water is the essence of being a living animal a living creature we are based in the water and yeah I know I'm really not saying very much it's a very simple message today because it seems to be part of this this whole thing with the water is getting this this simplicity is a part of that that you just come down to this even level and just this very simple material basic substance that doesn't even have a particular shape it doesn't even have a shape it's just there as matter well go look at the ducks another joy of being by the water side it's just you know sometimes I find it hard to talk too much about simplicity because when you're really being simple you know what are you going to talk about what are you going to say because there is nothing to say it's like okay there's water that's it and so much of this complex journey going through layer by layer analyzing developing habits and changing and changing mindset all the complexity that's in it it just seems to come down at the end to something very simple so this may be my simplest video yet and all I have to say is this is water and I'm glad to be here
