Simple Pleasures

July 31, 2014

“Simple pleasures feed our essential selves:  listening to music, being outdoors, seeing a loved face at the door, laughing all the way, knowing we did our best work, wearing clothes softened by age, reading all day, watching a flight of wild geese, running for home, and breathing deeply. . . . Such soul food has been at our fingertips all along.  We overlook ‘ordinary’ joys completely when we overextend our reach into the world of things.”
