Listen "Simplicity Is Enough"
Episode Synopsis
Scripture Micah 6:8 (NRSV) He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Refrain What is simple is often most sacred.Poem Wendell Berry, from *The Mad Farmer Liberation Front* “Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready-made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery anymore. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.” Hosted on Acast.
