Shelter for the Spirit Quotes

“Simplicity is NOT boring. Simplicity is not self-denial. It is an indulgence, providing you with a wealth of time and space.

Simplicity IS discerning the essential from the unessential. Simplicity is having room for the unexpected. It is savoring life.

It's freedom to do what you want because you're not already committed to more obligations than you can handle and the maintenance of more objects than you'll ever use.”
