Now this line strikes me: "I reminded myself to watch my own purchases and decisions and participation and try to have a voice in the many decisions being made."<br /><br />I am curious to know if you have found -- and are experiencing -- a simple life, or if you feel pushed and pulled like so many others.Rachel Federmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954446214849444639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-9685222678767520972014-01-03T17:39:09.622-08:002014-01-03T17:39:09.622-08:00"I see that it is our land-rock, soil, water,..."I see that it is our land-rock, soil, water, air-as well as our civic premises, our social framework that we are changing."<br /><br />So true.

One thing that makes me sad is that the things that ARE built are not done so very beautifully for the most part. Are these thoughts we have as we get older? Esp the part of realizing how little we know of love and that indeed a lifetime will not be long enough? This has been very much on my mind as I've encountered some Hard Things that have had to chose love and honestly it has not been easily done (but it has been won by God's grace). I am not who I want to be and I am often shocked at how far people (specific and in the broader sense of the word) are from who I thought they were. <br /><br />Well, with that I must turn it. Many blessings as your continue your exploration of your new/old home and settle in. Righting wrongs...one day it will be made right and that is what I hope to ponder as I fall asleep.Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181208978190549590.post-44475323494823648852013-11-21T15:37:16.091-08:002013-11-21T15:37:16.091-08:00A casino was built near us just last year, I voted...A casino was built near us just last year, I voted against it, but people pushed for it, saying it would create more jobs!

I know I've been thinking similar things lately about how much do we really "need" compared with how much people used to "need"? I'm thankful for our financial state because it forces me to look at this... something I've passed over without much consideration before.
