Wing, an extraordinary translator of the Tao Te Ching saying, to those who achieve personal power (as in awareness of the Tao) two changes occur: the rise of intellectual independence and the NEED for simplicity. So your are indeed correct - the power of simplicity.

I could just feel the letter writing you described, as I have been letter writing of late as well, and the feeling is wonderful. It is that completeness of artistic endeavor, and insightful love and, deep emotion, not able to be conveyed on anything that plugs in or is carried in our pockets. The world has need for this return to the Soul, for this is Soul , this creation of thought and acton and heart. I am going to write you too, right now in fact, and see what beauty with words I can create to express my gratitude to you and your husband for writing these blogs. Even in your busiest moment, you take time to connect with what is real, and that includes your passion, writing books, and remembering your friends both here and other places. I, for one, am grateful for your deep insights, and your deep and loving compassion for the world and your craft which is I believe, living life to the fullest and then being able, with our rich gifts, to share it with those of us who long to live it as you have. Who knows, maybe we will even achieve that golden place thanks to you both. Thank you , Christian and Bert, for being authentic, shining ones, reflecting the pure joy of LIFE!--MerriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899935788746803376.post-46691068604890712712014-04-05T19:23:17.849-07:002014-04-05T19:23:17.849-07:00I don't drink coffee, but I have my mother'...I don't drink coffee, but I have my mother's percolator standing proudly on the china cabinet. I don't own a fountain pen, and my handwriting is terrible, but I do remember the joys of writing letters and eagerly waiting for the response. I do miss that, even as I find myself tied to my computer. In an ideal world we'd have a better balance of the two.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683301810568953266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4899935788746803376.post-39349086920871676612014-04-05T01:20:05.261-07:002014-04-05T01:20:05.261-07:00Ah, the power of simplicity!
