"True simplicity consists not in the use of particular forms, but in foregoing over-indulgence, in maintaining humility of spirit, and in keeping the material surroundings of our lives directly serviceable to necessary ends, even though these surroundings may be properly characterized by grace, symmetry, and beauty." ~Book of Discipline of the Religious Society of Friends, Adopted by the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, 1927
Oh, I LOVE this quote!! I came across it today while searching out a recipe. I’ll be chewing on this one for a few days. The weekend holds for us hopefully some simple times, some crafting with the children, dinner with friends—laughter & catching up, lots of sunshine and excellent weather, yard sales, gathering with other believers and naps. I need naps!
May your weekend be enjoyable.
Loved this quote! Why do I always look for a new “form”? This type of simplicity seems doable and appealing and restful. Thanks for sharing that.
Blessings,
