Jar of Simplicity

It's left on the shelf
Far too often
Pushed behind all we know
Every box of knowledge
Countless cans of advice
They all conceal
What is needed most
In this crazy life I live
All I need
Is that jar of beautiful,
Neglected simplicity

[The cupboard doors lie on their hinges. The shelves empty. Where's the jar?]
