We are a society living on the edge of sanity, lacking time to nurture our relationships or our personal spirituality. Many of us live in emotional and financial debt, frustrated because the more we acquire the less fulfilling life seems. Great spiritual and intellectual masters throughout the centuries have shared the same basic idea about what it takes to be truly human: simplicity.

1) I care not about money, only about fulfilling my obligations and having a bit of money left over at the end of the month.
2) I prefer walks in the forest over any mall or shopping center.
3) I log into Twitter about once a month.
4) I haven't updated my Facebook or LinkedIn accounts in at least a year...nor have I even logged in during that time.
5) No cell-phone or laptop. I drive a 13 year old car and have a twelve year-old TV.
6) There's an ancient Arab sheep-herder who lives in Bethlehem, across the valley from our home. He comes into the valley twice a week, lights a fire while his herd is grazing and places a pot of coffee on the flame. If he sees me on our porch, he waves me down and we sit on a rock and talk for a while. I'll take that over Starbucks any time.
Simplicity = Serenity.
This world can become the techno marvel that it wants to be. I'm just not going to go along for the ride. Way too stressful for me.
