The simple things are most precious
:: Henry David Thoreau - Walden
It would be to some advantage to live a primitive and frontier life, though in the midst of an outward civilization, if only to learn what are the gross necessaries of life and what methods have been taken to obtain them. The improvements of ages have had little influence on the essential laws of mans existence......
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts or to found a school but to love wisdom, as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity and independence.
One thing that I have noticed, as God has been taking me thru the journey of simplicity, is that my stress levels are much, much lower. I'm experiencing more contentment, happiness and inner peace in being thankful for the common things, the simple things, all of which I took for granted when I lived caught up in the hustle bustle treadmill of life. Now, as I pause to reflect throughout the day, I find my breathing is calm, breaths evenly spaced apart, no heart palpitations or heartburn. I can hear the whisper of God's creation. Like today for instance. The snow began falling, softly, around 4 am. It was so quiet outside that I could literally hear it snowing. Have you ever heard it? WOW. As I sit here, warm and toasty, drinking my cup of coffee and hotcocoa mix, Hunter wrapped around my feet, I'm watching the snowflakes drift down, settling on the church roof across the street, and on the hedges and trees in our yard. Everything is resting under a blanket of white, and its beautiful.
living simply and for Him,
Sherri
