Hello everyone. Welcome to my seventh (I know I said eight on the audio recording, OOPS!)installment of my creative world that I call Resonance Reflection Photography. My name is Marcel Comeau, and I'm a landscape photographer based in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Each week I post my work online for the world to see and enjoy. This week's photo is a shot from Sooke, a gorgeous coastal town on the south-west shores of the island. I grew up close to the ocean and having the ability to experience areas like this brings me back to a beautiful period in my life. The article accompanying the image is about embedding simplicity within our complex world. We tend to get drawn into solving as many problems within our daily discourse as we can, but most time the act of simplifying your workload and your state of life can go a long way. It's been a practice ever since I took time for myself to travel across Canada, and it has served a great deal of benefit to my overall state of life. I hope you enjoy this article, and I'll talk to you soon. Take care.

Simplicity has proven value throughout my life as a means to carry my light of consciousness in the most optimal manner possible. The complexity of the societal landscape that I partake establishes adversity that challenges my present conditioning on how I react to the circumstances facing me. The moment I showcase a sense of confident wielding in my actions is when I materialize the concept into knowledge. When the experience settles into my neurological infrastructure that's when I can analyze and break down all the components from the newfound assets I've attained. The progression of mindfulness continues; simplicity correlated with clarity once again becomes the perception of my journey towards the horizon.

The notion of merging the concept of simplicity in my adolescent mindset never structured a presence as a view towards the ever-evolving landscape we reside. The perception of implementing a sense of stability within the confines of modesty questioned my approach to pursuing the goals I wanted to reach. I intended to gain momentum quickly and progress as much as possible to justify the need to create art. My method of attaining the required knowledge to facilitate my growing thirst for expressing myself fell within the criteria of understanding enough of the practice to enable the motion to engage creation. Where the lack of embracing the entire practice fell through became evident when challenges arose. The confusion, the frustration, the anger that manifested within my mental state grew more of a distraction and derailment towards my progressional growth. Where simplicity regulates this type of situation becomes apparent with the critical content I ignored when I initially took the responsibility to open my mind and enable full comprehension of the skillsets I wanted to build in the first place. My complete understanding of the integral pieces that construct the skillset could prevent wasted energy on moments of adversity which creates a mindset that's simple in operation and effective in action.

My continual search of attaining the knowledge I desire to fulfill myself acknowledges the dedication required to embrace all the content that's associated with the skillset I want to learn. Where I enforce the act of simplicity is after I've settled down and understood what I've absorbed. From that moment on, I make the conscious effort to contextualize all that there is to know of the concept and place it in a simplistic format that I can utilize at any given time. This practice requires a great deal of energy at first but becomes natural to the light of consciousness as it continues its journey through the existential landscape we all call home.
