No matter where we are on the path. <br /><br />There is a lot involved to pull ourselves out of the rat race and the programing most of us have grown up with. It takes time. It takes community. It takes "together".<br /><br />I love this simple drawing and your post.

There are too many of us if we are all to have a decent quality of life he said, we need to be 1/3 less people on earth. I have felt angry ever since. Truth is that man is greedy and wants too much. If we all took a really sereous look at our lives, in time, there would be enough for many many more. Thanks for inspiring words.

I thought, "Hey, this has been pretty easy to give up all the extras". But then I realized how long it has taken me to come to the awareness that less is best. Years and years, and I still have more work to do.<br /><br />How nice to be privileged enough to be able to make the choice to live with less. So many need more just to survive. I have read that almost 2 billion of us struggle to even find enough to survive, let alone be comfortable or thrive.<br /><br />If those of us that can take less decide not to do so, how will the people now struggling ever get enough for what we would consider a good life? Those with more than enough are inextricably linked to those without enough.<br /><br />Congratulations on preparing your kids for a new, better and more equitable world. There is no more important task.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-10228509763670477182015-08-15T04:11:46.602-03:002015-08-15T04:11:46.602-03:00Perfectly put.

Awful that it should take years to accomplish such a seemingly simple task. I am wildly better than I was, but I still have to watch myself. I know my mindset is the right one, because I seem to have succeded to teach my children well. They are the ones who catch me out from time to time!
