I just returned from visiting England. Though we didn't stay in homes, I was struck by the simplicity of their lifestyles. Other than castles, many of the townspeople live in dwellings much smaller than we do. They sit outside at cafe's, talking with people. They walk many places or take trains, buses, or the Tube (subway.) On the public transportation, you can read, rest, or just think.
What do we have that keeps us from a more simple, easier lifestyle? Is it too many responsibilities? Too much stuff to take care of? I'll be thinking on that in the coming weeks (but also getting rid of one thing per day!) I promise not to get too philosophical...
