Blogs that touch on the issue of simplicity are extremely popular, from Unclutterer to LivSimpl. As your week begins, here is a reflection from Catherine Whitmire's Plain Living: A Quaker Path to Simplicity:
The simple life is one in which there is always time to remember the divine purpose behind each of our tasks, time to listen for a possible divine amendment to the day's schedule, and time to be thankful for the divine presence at each moment of the day. Lloyd Lee Wilson, 1993
For Reflection
- Will you be flexible enough this week to be interrupted by someone in need?
- Will your work find space for "making a difference"?
- What is one thing that you can do to start the week that will simplify the way you work and live?
