Less is More...

"...we can describe *voluntary simplicity

as a manner of living
that is outwardly more simple

and inwardly more rich,

a way of being in which our most authentic

and alive self
is brought into direct and conscious contact

with living..."

Simplicity is a quality that is frequently tinged with
negative connotations.
Hence - She's a bit simple - He's a simpleton
- It's so simple anyone could do it.
Simpleness may suggest plainness, a lack of style and sophistication.
I want to speak up for simplicity.
To me it's something that we should often both seek and treasure.
With simplicity you know what you are getting
- it is clear and honest and true,
unadorned and pure...
