I am reading the Celebration of Discipline by Foster right now. This quote from the beginning of the chapter on Simplicity really struck me, as i deal with fear and anxiety alot in my life:[b]"Simplicity is freedom. Duplicity is bondage. Simplicity brings joy and balance. Duplicity brings anxiety and fear."[/b]"Simplicity is freedom, not slavery. Refuse to be a slave to anything but God." this confirms what i thought was a non-conformist personality in me) :-) LOLI am also reading about simplicity in "The Lessons of St Francis".Tis the gift to be simpleTis the gift to be freeTis the gift to come down where we ought to be.-Old Shaker HymnI will post more later. I'm sure you're all looking forward to that. :-P In His perfect, matchless love, Chanin
