Simple Is Beautiful

Memorial Day was a private celebration this year. All of my household chores were accomplished either on foot or bike. It felt good not to use any gas or plastic for my food and other supplies. The weather was finally splendid here in Santa Monica, so riding the bike with canvas sacks to the Farmers Market was a treat. And so is the fresh and tender vegetables and fruits. Walking back from the grocery store after buying more than I expected was not easy, but the compression of the load was quickly released and the sense of freedom was exhilarating. Using eco-cleaners and line drying laundry all made for a wholesome, happy contribution.

If the planet is destroyed, it won't be because of me. I dedicated this practice to the many soldiers who have died because of oil. I love this country and planet and am grateful for it all. And I do believe that if we learn to use less gas and oil-based products, we will in turn eliminate wars and pollution.

God bless America. Simple is beautiful.
