A simple life

If you want to be free, learn to live simply. Use what you have and be content where you are. Leave your car in the garage. If you have a gun put it away. Sell that complex computer and go back to using pencil and paper. Rather than read every new book that comes along, reread the classics. Eat food grown locally. Wear simple, durable clothing. Keep a small home, uncluttered and easy to clean. Keep an open calendar with periods of uncommitted time. Have a spiritual practice and let family customs grow. Of course the world is full of novelty and adventures. New opportunities come along everyday. So what?
