Well said! Now I am thinking you’ve clearly stated one of my wishes for our daughter: I want her to taste our garden dirt. Sounds a bit funny but, of course, you understand.

Couldn’t agree more, Jessie. Great post. The number one product our economy creates is need. Without feelings of inadequacy, we are passive as consumers. Being at peace with less is, to put it mildly, threatening the bottom line of some very powerful people. Hence, a message you will seldom hear from mainstream media – true security comes not from having more, but from needing less.

I have a dream, and I can’t help but talk about it. [...]

The only thing I ever wanted to be as a child (other than healthy) was happy. I’ve spent my adult life trying out things that were supposed to make you successful and happy in life. But my moments of happiness have been because of my sister, her family, my husband, true friends, work that has nothing to do w/ how I make a living and some fine books. These are not small things and I am grateful for them. I find myself at the beginning of figuring out a more satisfying way of life and am grateful to you and your mother for showing me it is possible for things to be different. And so it begins.
