You Can’t Force Simplicity

“You can’t force simplicity;
but you can invite it in
by finding as much richness as possible
in the few things at hand.
Simplicity doesn’t mean meagerness
but rather a certain kind of richness,
the fullness that appears
when we stop stuffing the world with things.”
–Thomas Moore

Thanks for the quote. One has to be willing to embrace simplicity (however it can be applied to her situation), else it has no meaning and will not bring her happiness.

Thank you for sharing this quote. There is a richness in simplicity that many people never realize. I especially appreciated part of this quote about miserliness because that is so easily misunderstood. You have a wonderful blog.
