While all of the definitions above may be valid, sencillez, for me, is the capability to be contented with what you have. It is seeing life sans its intricacies; being thankful for the littlest things.

Waking up by the sound of chirping birds, the bliss brought by your children's embrace, the smile on the face of a sufferer battling cancer, a father's tears upon seeing his firstborn... these are what sencillez is all about.

God is infinitely simple.
-Thomas Aquinas
